# Defining the problem ## Defining the problem
The program in question, *Politburo*, fills in the gap between historically accurate gameplay (history buff appeal), social deduction, and backstabbing among players. *Politburo* is a game inspired by the game *Secret Hitler*, in which the liberals need to find out who the fasicasts are before they pass enough policies to win. *Politburo* is a card game that takes that idea of social deduction and historical background and adds a backstabbing aspect. The client for this project, Nicholas Doan is a history buff and plays a wide range of strategy and history adjacent games in his spare time. During our interview, he provided some great insight on enhancing the intrigue aspect of the game, and provided some useful feedback on the gameplay and themes.

# The Proposed Product ## The Proposed Product
Our game will be implemented using Bevy's 2D game engine, and networking will be done with the `libp2p` library, allowing us to mostly forgo a central server. We will still need a central server running the reference `libp2p` server for connecting and hole-punching players. The client will use the `identify` protocol to connect to the central server. For matchmaking, the kademlia protocol will be used to find open lobbies. Once an open server is identified a peer-to-peer connection is established using the DCUtR protocol. The user will interact with the chat functions using the `bevy_egui` library (which will render the chat as a window in the game) and the game will be played with digital interactable cards on a digital interactable Politburo desk.
