• 10 coins of 2 denominations (5 nickels, and 5 dimes, for example)

DespotLand has forever been a rival to your country. As the leader of EnlightenedRealm, the time has come to replace DespotLand's ruler with someone more agreeable to you. Of course, your rival may be attempting the same thing against you.

The goal of Coup D'Etat is to overthrow your enemy. You must deduce where he is hiding and assassinate him or turn the populace against him by locating important supporters of a coup among the citizens of his country.
