I’m interested in table top games that have a strong focus on power and politics, or possibly social change or intrigue that intersects with power and politics.

Not hung up on format or system, open to anything.

Any suggestions?

    Someone else already said the World of Darkness games like Vampire. I’m one of the dozens of people who prefered Requiem over Masquerade, but either should work for you.

    I’ll also throw out my current game crush: Fate. It’s a general purpose system, so it focuses where you point it. Players are encouraged to come up with the major “Faces and Places” in the setting, along with the big issues, and then pursue their goals in that world. That could be as much about getting a favored candidate elected as taking out a corrupt CEO.

      I love Fate. I am using it to run what I’m calling my “sedition sandbox” campaign (there’s an evil empire, you’ve been sent to its capital as spies and saboteurs, now tell me how you bring it down from the inside).

      It’s been working great. On our best nights, we hit a tone reminiscent of Andor as my players hit key targets, turn their enemies against each other, and grapple with just how far they are willing to go in the name of the cause.
