Ameritocracy is a strategic card game where players are campaigning to be the next President of the United States. Each player has their own campaign deck, which can be dealt randomly, drafted, or constructed beforehand. Players also compete over a shared deck of headline cards. Players take turns recruiting staff, spending cards to play teams and actions, and assigning their staff to their teams or headlines. Get enough staff backing you on a headline, and you win the headline and gain votes. Get 10 votes and you win the game.
