The Establishment: Innerworkings of a Secret Cabal

The Establishment is a card-based, story-driven roleplaying game for 3-6 players about a secret society controlling the future of a space-faring humanity.

Combining the best elements of a roleplaying game with the benefits of a card game, The Establishment's story-driven, card-based play requires no game master so all players can participate, making it perfect for both RPG newbies and advanced gamers. Like most roleplaying games, players do not complete points-based objectives to win—the goal is to lead the faction and achieve a fitting end to the story.

The game is played over four rounds. Players choose a path they agree with using storyline cards. Players debate, make deals, and support others by playing influencers. A society card, representing the whims of society, may swing the story's direction. The game takes around 1-2 hours to play, depending on player count.
