I’m a Bill on Capitol Hill

Bill cards ready for the test deck

I’m excited to announce that the test set of Bill cards for Capitol Chaos is now complete and ready for our test deck print run later this month. These Bill cards are the heart of the game, bringing to life the messy, intricate, and absurd process of turning legislative proposals into law, while still being a ton of fun to wield against your opponents.

Whether you're trying to Nationalize all factories, Provide universal free healthcare, or Synchronize All Stop Lights, the bill cards force you to navigate the same bureaucratic and partisan obstacles real legislators face. Also, like the real world, in Capitol Chaos, you get to use these obstacles to crush your opponents, adding a whole new layer of strategic shenanigans to the game.

Bringing the Absurdity of Politics to Life

These bill cards may be rooted in reality, but they’re also designed to expose the madness of modern-day politics. With Bill cards like Seize all Wealth and Ban single-use plastic facing off against Triple defense spending and Eliminate nearly all federal agencies, you’re not just passing laws—you’re weaponizing political ideologies to outmaneuver your rivals. Watching your opponent’s progressive agenda come crashing down because you filibustered their bill for ten turns? Priceless.

The process of moving a bill from committee to law is a chaotic, unpredictable ride, just like in real politics. But in Capitol Chaos, the chaos is amped up with fun mechanics like amendments, events like filibusters, and legislative maneuvers that can shift the tide of battle at any moment. Bills get sabotaged, rewritten, or completely derailed, and part of the fun is figuring out how to turn that chaos to your advantage while forcing your opponents to watch their carefully laid plans go down in flames.

A Fun Twist on Real Lawmaking

While Capitol Chaos maintains the framework of how laws are actually made—committee hearings, debates, amendments, and votes—the game spices things up by letting players use their legislator's abilities to manipulate the process. Maybe you’ll use a Filibuster to freeze a bill in its tracks, or pull a Media Blitz to sway public opinion and boost your influence right when you need it most. In Capitol Chaos, you’re not just following the rules of politics, you’re bending, breaking, and reshaping them to suit your agenda.

So, if you’ve ever wanted to see the absurdity of politics laid bare while simultaneously beating down your opponents with events that derail their political agendas, these Bill cards deliver exactly that. Prepare yourself for some fun and frustrating legislative battles, where the only thing more unpredictable than politics is the strategy of your fellow players.

Get ready for the madness when the test deck rolls out later this month—and remember: in Capitol Chaos, it’s not just about passing laws, it’s about surviving the political bloodbath and outmaneuvering everyone else along the way.
