THE CHAOS IN 60 SECONDS

01

CHOOSE YOUR FACTION

Government or Resistance. Pick your role — Supreme Leader, Judiciary or Executive for Government; Journalist, Opposition Leader or Activist for the Resistance — each with a secret win condition and unique power.

02

TAKE THE STATES

Roll, move, and fight across all 50 satirically-named US states. Spend tokens, play cards, win Media Wars. Fortify your strongholds.

03

DRAW THE CHAOS

Propaganda Cards force absurd debates. Chaos Cards hit everyone. Public Trials humiliate the scandalous. Veto Cards save you — sometimes.

04

WIN OR BURN IT ALL

Government dominates 38 states. Resistance triggers a Scandal Collapse. Or someone draws the Nuclear Option. Either way — chaos.
