About Career of the President

The game is based on President, the game I used to play, when I was in high school, and then when I was a student.

I loved it so much that I have tried to preserve its unique atmosphere of a late 80's text-based game.

Each turn is one action, one month will pass in the game.

At the beginning of the turn, you see the current financial state, by choosing an action, you will receive the result at the end of the turn.

You need to choose the actions that will lead to victory by clicking on the game menu:
- participate in elections
- hire subordinates
- Buy or sell real estate property
- buy or sell an enterprise
- buy or sell shares
- take a loan or open a deposit in a bank
- you can just have fun with a chance to win

You don't have to make quick decisions or wait for the next step.

The game can be stopped at any time in order to resume it later from the moment the game was stopped.

To win you need to buy all the property and businesses, hire all the specialists, accumulate a million in your bank account and win presidential elections.
