Similar to the board games Junta and Kremlin, the Machiavellian cooperation games that border on roleplaying. In Junta, you win by having your family end the game with the most money in your Swiss bank account. I forget the victory conditions for Kremlin, but it had to do with getting the functionaries you control in the top spot the longest. Translated into KoDP terms, that means either a point system or a simple tracking of how many years you controlled the chief/king (and possibly other ring members).  Frankly, I'd just play it for fun, not a victory, though.
