Tutorial

In Federalist Freeloader, managing resources and actions is key to mastering the game. Each player starts with a set amount of resources that can be used to perform various actions, such as manipulating politics, controlling the media, or expanding influence. These actions have a resource cost, so you must carefully decide which actions to take. However, actions also generate resources over time. For instance, investing in a media takeover may deplete your resources initially, but it will more resources in the following turns. The ultimate goal is to accumulate as much money as possible by the end of the game. Strategize wisely, balance your immediate actions with long-term gains, and maximize your monetary gains!.
