Nepotism for Germany

Nepotism for Germany is a satirical, turn-based management game about rising through politics by breaking the rules. You start with no money, job or prospects and work your way from a local party pub to Orbán's palace across six career tiers. You can hire relatives, launder money and cultivate international contacts, but excessive greed can lead to collapse.

Political strategy

Each turn, you choose actions that carry risks and consequences. You balance power, money, your network and your corruption index, while avoiding intelligence agencies and surviving scandals. You can also try to reduce corruption through transparency reports, volunteering and foundations. Scores use the formula Base + Efficiency + Risk + Style, multiplied by applicable multipliers.

The game includes more than 120 satirical actions across five categories: Nepotism, Finance, Diplomacy, Parliamentary Inquiries and Media. Six tech trees include Illegal Financing, International Connections and Parliamentary Espionage. Six life goals are The Pragmatist, The Ideologue, The Family Patriarch, The Orbán, The Survivor and The Defector. Eight optional challenge modifiers increase score multipliers.
