In Theory of Power, chaos reigns aboard a spaceship disconnected from the outside world. Players compete to gain control by recruiting supporters, managing food resources, and poaching rivals’ followers. Supporters have special abilities that must be combined effectively. Actions include recruiting crew, discarding cards for food, poaching supporters, and drawing cards that add compromising information tokens.
Who Is This Game For?

How It Works
Each player starts with five cards and takes turns performing one of four actions: recruiting a supporter by paying food, discarding a card to gain food, poaching a supporter from another player by spending influence tokens, or drawing new cards at the risk of gaining negative tokens.
