{"product_id":"gnomic-parliament","title":"Gnomic Parliament","description":"\u003cp\u003eGnomic Parliament is a cheerful, social, rule-changing game for 4-8 people, ages 10 and up. The playing time is about 45 minutes. Good judgment of other players and bluffing are important game elements.\n\nEach player is a member of the Parliament of Gnomes. The Parliament of Gnomes only works on its own procedures. The President of the Parliament proposes a law that changes these procedures. The law is then voted on. The parliamentarians have varying degrees of influence on whether the change is passed or not. However, they prefer to vote with the majority. This is considered particularly honorable. And honor is the most important thing for them.\n\nEach round, the \"President\" selects one of several \"laws\", being cards which have a slight rule change for the game, possibly giving points or extra votes to some of the players.\n\nThen the players discuss and finally vote on this \"law\", either yes or no, and possibly spending additional votes (\"lobby votes\"), to increase the chance of the vote going in their favor.\n\nPlayers who voted with the majority get a point. If the \"law\" passes it also goes into effect immediately, possibly giving extra points or lobby votes to some players. Some laws have a permanent effect, others only a one-time effect.\n\nAt the end of the round, the Presidency possibly passes on to another player.\n\nEach game is very different because there are a lot more law cards in the deck than what can appear in one game.\n\nAny resemblance to reality is purely coincidental.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.00 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Channing Jones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fobs Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51927167500504,"sku":"SB-D6DBE109F54D-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/f6otnwp1icy3a0q4296exo17mt2k.png?v=1785466901","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/gnomic-parliament","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
