Pankratinian Parliament (card game, 4 players)
« on: February 20, 2022, 02:24:54 pm »

A card/map game inspired by Twilight Struggle and one of my older forum games, Res Publica.

You get cards and a map, and you add Popularity of your party on the map whilst trying to contain the other parties. Each game phase you score points and the Party with highest score after the 4th phase wins.

PANKRATINIAN PARLIAMENT RULES:

1. There are four parties: Blue, Red, Yellow and Grey. Each starts the game with 3 points of Popularity pre-allocated on the Map of the Republic of Pankratinia.
2. At start of game, GM shuffles the Deck of 1920 Phase Cards and gives each Party 5 Cards. Each Party then adds another 2 Popularity wherever they wish.
3. The game is divided into 4 Phases, and those into Turns, and Turns into Actions (1 Turn = 1 Action per Party). The Action Order is: Red, Grey, Yellow, Blue.
4. 1920 and 1930 Phases have 4 Turns each; 1940 and 1950 Phases have 5 Turns each.
5. The Party can do the following as an Action:
* Play a Card in their Hand:
**Cards that are Neutral or belong to Your Party will play out as stated on the Card.
**Cards that belong to Another Party will give you 2 Popularity to allocate on the Map; but the Card's event will play out as well.
***You can specify whether you want to put down the 2 Popularity BEFORE or AFTER the Card's event goes through.
* Discard a Card from their Hand.
6. Cards Removed from Play cannot be re-played; other Cards that were Played but not Removed, as well as Discarded Cards, are put aside until next Phase.
7. At start of each new Phase (1930, 1940, 1950), the GM will add both Cards that were put aside and Cards from the new Phase to the Deck, shuffle it around, and hand out extra 5 Cards to each Party.
8. Scoring occurs at the end of the last Turn of a Phase; each Region grants Score based on X:Y number on the Map. Score is attained by getting 25%+1 Popularity Slots in a Region (X) and 50%+1 Popularity Slots in a Region (Y). For example: having 10 Popularity in KRUNICA will give your Party 5 Score (X 2 + Y 3).
9. At the end of 1950 Phase and its Scoring, the Party with highest Score wins.

All Cards List (73) can be found here on my Pastebin.

PHASE 1920

TURN 1


Cards have been randomized and sent to all 4 Parties.

Each Party now has time to allocate extra 2 Popularity wherever they want on the map. Please remember unlike with Cards, you cannot replace others' Popularity with your own here.

Max Spin, I have a Grey card or two. Anything you care to offer that would get me to play one?

Tric, Egan, I'm not so ideological as to decline an alliance of sorts, but luck of the draw will make a mutually beneficial arrangement trickier to reach.

Do not count on our co-operation with such... regressive policy.

Yellow claiming 2 Popularity in Karunica.

I happen to have three cards of yours. 12, 17, and 19. I would be happy to assist you with your regressive policy. It's the best kind of policy.

Excellent. I hold 7 and 15. The nationalists will gladly support your leader if the military apparatus supports ours. (7 for 19) I'm aiming at Upper Hradec and as exactly as possible 3 dots in Minkutam this Phase.


The Blue Party pours resources into is naturally comfortable in the Minkutam Region to the tune of 2 Popularity. Dwarves are Pankratinians too!*

Am I right in thinking that these can be split, like 1 in Vinnica, 1 in Poljavec?
