Diktat

Diktat – Take Control of the Prague Bloc

Diktat is a competitive and asymmetrical strategy game for 2 to 5 players, where you lead a secret Cabal seeking to take over the Prague Bloc. In this city consumed by corruption and paranoia, your agents operate in the shadows — infiltration, plots, assassinations, and negotiations shape the fragile balance of power. Each of the five playable factions has its own playstyle and strategy in a struggle where anything goes to achieve total control.

How to Play Diktat

Each round, you place your agents face down on the board to seize opportunities or gain influence across the districts of Prague. You may deploy envoys, spy on rivals, or order assassinations to remove threats.
Opportunity cards offer alliances, corruption, scientific discoveries, or political favors that you’ll compete for, sector by sector. As pieces are revealed, tension rises — a guard might protect an envoy, but an assassin can turn the tide of the round.
Power points unlock your faction’s unique abilities, deepening its asymmetrical gameplay. Finally, a shared threat looms: the Others, an autonomous force that may invade the city if players fail to unite in time.
