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?

@naught101 Chivalry & Sorcery has been, from day one, an attempt to emulate the medieval world in fantasy right down to a very complete "influence" system building politics right into everything.

Legend of the Five Rings has courtly politics built into it. So does the old Pendragon game. Spark (and Sig) has factions and factional beliefs/conflict baked in as the core concept of the game.

ACKS had politics as the "end-game" so to speak. And I have hazy memories of Ars Magica doing politics.
