What is The Majority?

The Majority Original Game

The Majority is playable with 3 or 4 players. In a 4 player game, the game is played in teams of 2, forming a 2 versus 2 game.

In this game, each player will be playing a card from his or her hand to form political parties. Cards have different special abilities as well as strengths in the political party. Players will be using these cards to form a strong and powerful party. However, in this game, having the strongest party won’t make you the most money. Instead, being the second most powerful party will grant you more money! Remember though, that getting some money is always better than getting nothing. You must carefully coordinate your plays with your partner so that you and your partner will end up with the most and second most powerful party!

In a 3 player game, the game is played almost identically. However, you will not have a partner, so it will be a 3 person free for all. You will need to play cleverly to ensure that you will end up with more money than your opponents!

How much money can you earn in this world of pandemonium where briberies, assassinations, and betrayals are the norm!?

What is The Majority 2?

The Majority 2 Original Game

The story continues on in the assembly of darkness. Briberies, assassinations, and betrayals are means of the past. Nowadays, politicians are forming political factions aiming to gain grant. The Majority 2 is playable only with 2 players. In this game, a player’s goal is to create more political factions with higher authorities than his or her opponent. Board members are the various residents of the pandemonium, including Witches, Demons, Dragons, Angels, and Reapers. These inhumane creatures are equipped with exciting and powerful special abilities that can aid their factions or hinder their opponents. The game has a unique card drafting mechanics where the hand of cards is shared between the player and their opponent.
