Description provided by kovray on YouTube:

Learn to How to Play Pact in just 10 Minutes! Thank you for stopping by. Pact is designed by Zach Hoekstra, and illustrated by Coen Balkestein, it's published by Wulfhorn Games, who helped sponsor this video. Learn More: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/wulfhorngames/pact In Pact, you’re competing for control of the tiny bug kingdom of Branchbourne. To do that, you’ll be making Pacts with four powerful Pillars of society: the Nobility, Merchants, Military, and Church. Each Pact is essentially a promise to that Pillar. Stronger Pacts give you more Influence to use throughout the kingdom, but they also come with greater expectations. Fulfill your Pacts and you’ll earn Legitimacy. Fail to deliver on your promise, and you can lose it instead. Your goal is to have the most Legitimacy at the end of the game. However, if at the end of any season you have 13 more Legitimacy than the player in last place, you’ll immediately win the game. There’s also one way for everyone to lose: if the Military fails to defend the kingdom from the Centipedes twice, everyone loses. Question of the Day: What interesting pacts have you made throughout your life? Thanks for watching our How to Play video of Pact! 🥰 Enjoyed our content and want to support our work?

About Pact, from BoardGameGeek:

In the insect kingdom of Branchbourne, the Ermine families' dynasty is beginning to crumble. Work to hold everything together, or bring the kingdom to the brink of ruin in your ambition and greed. Pact is a game of political tug-of-war in which 3-4 players take on the roles of either the existing aristocracy or a revolutionary outcast, and vie for power within the Kingdom. Players must form pacts with the power brokers of the kingdom in order to gain influence, then keep those same power brokers rich and powerful in order to win the game. Each player has unique capabilities and a different set of effects that will come out through the game as part of the event deck. With the death of her mother, Jenna Ermine VI desperately holds on to whatever power she still can, while her nefarious aunt Duchesse Orich schemes in the shadows. Meanwhile, old ghosts of the kingdom's beginnings rear their heads, as Matuk the revolutionary gathers support and Neith the Weaver seeks to revive her ancient faith. No game of Pact ever ends quite the same way, as every player's choices rebound off each other to drive the narrative in unforseen ways. Wulfhorn Games and Restless Raven Games have joined forces to bring you a world of intrigue and influence to explore! --description from the publisher
