<p>In the twelfth episode of the second season of Hibike Euphonium, some of the main characters are playing a card game before going to bed.</p>

<p>Apparently it has to do something with reaching classes, because Kumiko mentions not even getting out of middle class after Midori announced that "Revolution's over".</p>

This game is called **Capitalism** and each player is assigned a social class ranging from president to 'scum'.

It's also sometimes called **[President](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_(card_game))** which is a westernized verison of the japanese game "[daifugō](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daifug%C5%8D)" (perhaps that is the actual game, but localized) where it ranges from the daifugō (Grand millionaire) to the Daihinmin (Extreme Needy).

There is a variant which allows "revolutions"
