Coup: Rebellion G54

G54 is the exciting sequel to Rikki's award winning game, Coup. G54 is completely stand alone - Coup is not required to play nor do the two games work together.

G54 uses the same lightning fast rules found in Coup - claim, counter, challenge and bluff - and then adds an exciting strategic layer via character selection. Before each game starts, five character roles are chosen randomly from 25 different cards. Each of the five characters has a unique ability - the combination of abilities and interplay between them makes each game unique. There are over 5,000 different ways to play!

In the not too distant future, the government is run for profit by a new “royal class” of multi-national CEOs.Their greed and absolute control of the economy has reduced all but a privileged few to lives of poverty and desperation.Out of the oppressed masses rose a rebellion, an underground organization focused on overthrowing these powerful rulers. The valiant efforts of the rebels have created discord, intrigue and weakness in the political courts of the noveau royal, bringing the government to brink of collapse. But for you, a powerful government official, this is your opportunity to manipulate, bribe and bluff your way into absolute power.

To be successful, you must destroy the influence of your rivals and drive them into exile. In these turbulent times there is only room for one to survive.

Coup is a lightning fast game of bluff and manipulation for 2-6 players - the game play of Coup is used for Coup: Rebellion G54 with the added strategic layer of variable card set up - making every game a unique challenge. But G54 doesn't replace Coup! I suspect that many people will want to have both - Coup for fast, fun times and G54 as a "gamers" game.
