About Copycat

Copycat, or as it is known in German, Fremde Federn (which means roughly "to adorn oneself with borrowed plumes," or something like "strange feathers"), is about borrowing elements from well-known games (Eurogames) and constructing a new game out of them. Copycat is a deck-building, worker-placement, drafting race game. You are a politician who tries to gather enough money and influence to become the next president.
