- The Game of Political Power
Lie, Cheat & Steal is a political simulation in which the players are trying to be elected to public office. Unlike most political simulations, which are based on how elections are supposed to be run, Lie, Cheat & Steal uses true political methods of vote buying, libel and under the table deals to advance to office.
Players start with $50,000 and collect another $20,000 every time they pass Start. Each turn, they may use their cash to buy votes (up to 20 a turn at $1,000 a vote). They may also get votes by accusing other players of fraud or other crimes (true or not). They may lose votes by being accused in turn or by falsely accusing another player who manages to defend themselves. Players may also promise favors to various groups in exchange for votes (Intellectuals - 5 votes, the Underworld - 10 votes, Big Business - 20 votes, Organized Labor - 100 votes). To raise additional cash players can drop out of politics for a while and enter private business. Or, they can enter local politics in order to build up their reputations.
