THE FEDERAL BARGAIN

Welcome to Kambara

Distribute power across five regions, negotiate a constitutional bargain, then see how it survives the next ten years. Everyone likes decentralization until somebody else gets the power.

What you need

No assigned reading required. The game introduces the decisions. A larger screen makes the constitutional design panel easier to use.

How it works

5 regions · 10 simulated years. Solo play, no account. Keep this tab open during your playthrough.

A question to take with you

Which disputes came from bad leaders, and which came from the rules you designed?
