Tax the Rich

Tax the Rich: a bold and strategic card game

Tax the Rich is a sharp and thought‑provoking trick‑taking card game that turns social hierarchy into a battlefield. Blending classic mechanics with modern political satire, this game challenges players to rethink power, status and cooperation.

Classic trick‑taking with a twist

The deck features characters from different social classes, ranging from the Poor to the President. Under normal circumstances, higher social ranks dominate lower ones. Each round begins with a bidding phase where players determine the trump suit and the number of tricks needed to earn bonus points.

The winning bidder teams up with an ally and must secure the required tricks together. Success brings rewards; failure can be costly.

Trigger a revolution

If at any point a player holds only cards marked with a flag symbol, they may declare a revolution. Instantly, the social order flips: the lowest ranks become the most powerful cards in the game.

From that moment on, the revolutionary plays with all cards face up, creating high tension and forcing everyone to adapt their strategy.

Special abilities and professions

The game includes thirteen rule cards that grant unique abilities to certain professions. Workers can unionize, Billionaires seize control, Police intervene, and Scientists challenge assumptions. These modular rules add depth and replayability to every session.

Optional feminist revolution

An optional variant allows players to collect cards with a feminist icon. Activating this feminist revolution increases the strength of all female characters, adding yet another strategic layer to the game.
