Lawgivers

Very bad game, most mechanics aren't explained and doesn't really make much sense. The games view on how politics works is extremely simplistic and in many ways wrong.

This creates an amusing political balancing act between satisfying voters, strengthening the party, and pursuing whatever long-term agenda you have established. It is a relatively simple system mechanically, but it ef…

Nice and entertaining. Can't wait to check the second game.
