From BoardGameGeek

Win Citizen by being the first player to pass your Cause through both chambers of the real 116th United States Congress. All 535 actual members take the place of dice, who are controlled by their documented voting history, seniority, and campaign contributors. Using the framework designed by our founders, advance your Cause or hinder your opponents' by building Citizen card hands that contain alliances of the actual faces, forces, and fates that built our nation. Use your skills to earn additional powers, all while avoiding the fallout from ambitious opponents, conflicted officials, and unexpected twists of Circumstance cards. Citizen gives you multiple paths to victory based on a wide variety of strategic considerations including Cause challenge level, deck building and drafting skills, use of powers and other resources during play, hand construction, impact selection, and more. Players' stories intertwine differently with every session so you'll never play the same game twice. -description from the designer
