A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

A political strategy game with deck-building decisions, fluctuating public opinion, and the weight of leadership on your shoulders.

Step into the Oval Office.

You’re the newly elected President of the United States, but goodwill fades fast. Each month, you must pass one bill, manage national priorities, and face the ever-changing tides of corporate influence, budget crises, and headline scandals.

Gameplay Features:

  • 144 unique bills to debate, sign, or veto
  • A deep deck of actions to unlock, combine, and strategize each round
  • Fluctuating approval scores from the public, corporations, and your treasury
  • High-stakes headlines that force hard choices and unexpected events
  • 48-month term limit – can you survive to the end with your legacy intact?
