Relação dos Poderes (Powers' Relationship) is a card game where 4 representatives of each power (Clergy, Nobility, Bourgeoisie and Peasantry) battle against each other. Each historical period provides a different relationship between the powers, and it's up to the players to decide which period will be played.
The objective of the game is to have the highest sum of card values so that the player and their class emerge victorious.
Produced and designed by a team of 5 different designers (André Giordano, Daniel Mesquita Lima, Lucas Sampaio Magalhães, Matheus Moreira and I, KATZ), the game is a quick 5-minute battle for 4 players. As the Artist, I was responsible for creating the visual identity of the game, including designing the game's cards, characters, and game elements.
During each of the 6 rounds, each player selects one of their cards in hand and places it on the table face down. When all players have placed their cards, the cards are turned face up, and the winner is determined based on the highest number on the card (taking into account the bonuses of special cards - the King and field card). The winning player collects the 4 cards on the table and adds them to their King's domain, separated on their side until the end of the game.
The game ends after 6 rounds, and the player with the highest sum of card values wins. When there are no more cards in the players' hands, the players must add up the points their King holds to determine the winner.

The game consists of 30 cards, including a field card (which offers bonuses to players collectively), 4 Kings' cards (which offer bonuses to players individually), 24 numbered cards (distributed equally among the 4 suits), and a game rule card. To start the game, the field card is placed on the table, and the cards are distributed equally among the players. One of the players is responsible for distributing 1 King card to each player and 6 random numbered cards, totaling 7 cards per player.
The game's suit-related drawings are as follows: Cup - Clergy, Sword - Nobility, Club - Peasantry, and Gold - Bourgeoisie. The Kings' cards offer +1 bonus to the players if the played card is of the same suit as the King, and the field cards offer a +1 bonus point to players collectively.
