Mud is a satirical card game published by Pillbox Games, themed around the dirty tricks and scandals of American elections. Players take on the role of schemers ready to do anything to control the vote: influencing voters, cheating and sabotaging their opponents.
Each turn, you place Voter cards to spread your influence across different regions. Powerful RAT cards let you gain the upper hand (stealing voters, for example), but each use forces you to draw a Scandal card that you keep hidden in front of you. DIG cards, meanwhile, force an opponent to reveal one of their scandals and immediately suffer its consequences. The heart of the game lies in this push-your-luck dilemma: the more you cheat to win, the more scandals you accumulate for others to exploit.
The goal: be the first to secure a solid block of voters — at least three voters in three different regions, all of the same political affiliation.
Key features:
- Satirical theme: a biting, humorous take on politics.
- Push-your-luck mechanic: cheat… but at your own risk.
- Direct interaction: dig up your opponents' scandals.
