¡This agreement means that "The Lord of the P.I.G.S. - Pata Negra" is a solidary game!
¿But what does that mean? It means that when we finish the campaign we'll gift Ayudar Jugando some copies of the game for their collection, and we'll also donate them a part of the raised money.
So now you know: ¡each contribution counts for double! ¡Make your contribution for a very noble cause!
Tired of the same news day in, day out?
Do you want to leave the 99% and become part of the 1% elite?
Do you like games with simple mechanics and a lot of interaction between the players?
If you've answered YES to any of the above, this is YOUR game!
“The Lord of the P.I.G.S. – Pata Negra” is a card game about the economy, the politics and the society on the fictitious Republic of Meridia. This country embodies the general characteristics of the southern European countries, more exactly the peculiarities of Spain. You and your friends will take on the roles of Meridia's bigwigs to fight for economic supremacy. How? Through public presentations, voting sessions, opinion polls, unexpected events and…obviously: a lot of backstabbing!
“The Lord of the P.I.G.S. – Pata Negra” is the update of the game we funded through Kickstarter towards the end of 2014. Due to the amount of people interested in an updated and developed version of the game, we've decided to launch it on Verkami completely renewed.
“The Lord of the P.I.G.S. – Pata Negra” is a game for 3-4 players, with games clocking in around 30 minutes. The game uses simple mechanics to show how the powerful wheel and deal to mold the economy to their own interests…while occasionally catering to the needs of the vast majority of the population. This is a game for those interested in the socioeconomic news, casual gamers and all who enjoy negotiating and plotting with (and against) their friends.
As a player you'll take the role of one of the pillars of Meridia's economy and you will be able to propose actions with a potential impact in both the interests of the players and the welfare of the masses. However, for those initiatives to be implemented you'll need the support of the players…that you'll have to obtain at any cost. Negotiation, imposition or treason - that's up to you!.
The following video shows the game's mechanics with more detail, even though the cards shown are from a prototype (Video in spanish, thanks a lot to Stephane @5MPJ!) :
CONTENTS OF THE GAME:
• 4 Action card decks, one for each character, for a total of 120 cards
• 1 Event card deck, with 20 cards
• 5 Score markers
• 4 Special Ability cards, one for each character
• 1 Rulebook (Game Manual)
The game has been designed by Jordi Rodríguez and Álvaro Lerma, and we've been lucky enough to receive the graphic design // illustration contributions of Iban Malangré, Alberto Riol, Miquel Samaniego ([email protected]) and Jordi Tura.

Buenas! Si sí, tal y como dijimos en la última entrada del proyecto, tendremos los juegos en almacén para el día 30 de este mes. Por lo tanto, deberías tener las copias en vuestras casas un poco antes de lo que estaba previsto :) Ya queda poco!

Hola a todos, solo preguntar como marcha todo y si se va a cumplir el calendario previsto. Ya tenemos ganas de empezar a manejar el cotarro en Merídia . . .

Buenas Raziel!
Lamentablemente, no podemos incluir a los asesores porque necesitamos llegar al monto de financiación requerido (6000€) para poder acabar su desarrollo...Nos gustaría poder haberlo hecho, pero no ha sido posible :)
Sin embargo, si quieres aparecer en las cartas, puedes ponerte en contacto con nosotros ([email protected]) para actualizar tu aportación. Ahora mismo estamos empezando el proceso, o sea que no es tarde!
Un saludo y muchas gracias por apoyarnos!

alguna posibilidad de tener los asesores como addon?

Bones Sangus,
No us preocupeu que quan acabi la campanya, preguntarem a tothom en quin idioma vol el joc!
Merci pel suport!!
Sangus
On dia he vist que potser el joc es pot triar en català. Si es possible jo tambe el voldria en català
