About Mr. President
Experience the complexities and challenges of modern American leadership in this faithful digital adaptation of GMT Games’ acclaimed board game Mr. President: The American Presidency 2000-2020. Step into the Oval Office during two decades that transformed America and the world.Select your Cabinet and guide your administration through pivotal moments in recent history - as well as those that didn’t happen, but could have. What if the global financial crisis had happened earlier - or been even worse? What if violence in Central or South America escalated to create a cartel-dominated rogue state? What if outsourcing and automation, or an oil price spike, drove a domestic political crisis? Make the crucial decisions that will define - or tarnish - your presidential legacy.Play any of the five historical scenarios - one for each of the presidential terms from 2000 to 2020 - and see if you can do better than your historical counterpart. Can you pass Social Security reform in the early 2000s? Protect the world from a nuclear Iran or North Korea? Hammer out lasting immigration reforms? Or play the sandbox scenario, which represents the general trends of these two decades. In addition to dealing with diplomatic and domestic crises, you’ll nominate Supreme Court justices and shepherd their confirmation hearings; manage scandals; run your re-election campaign; work with Congress to pass your legislative agenda; and build a capable and effective Cabinet.

Its a fun adaptation. Get it if you enjoy a singleplayer boardgame. Its an amusing take on a serious topic2 found this helpful
It's a fairly faithful implementation of GMT's Mr. President boardgame where you assume the responsibilities of leading the executive branch of the US government. Because of the breadth of those responsibilities, there is there is a lot that has been abstracted, but it captures the essential elements in a nonpartisan fashion. What I like most about this game is its sandbox nature. It rewards good management. You have a lot of choices, almost too many, to explore. Where I have issues with it is that there are certain parts of the game where you can take an action that are against 2nd edition rules. My hypothesis that the final early access version did that for the purposes of play balance, but we will see.1 found this helpful
I have played this at least 8 times and I lose during the first round every time. The game is rigged to far towards a negative outcome1 found this helpful
Peak strategy board game, very challenging Can't wait for the full release
Sim of a highly complex board game. Still in open access beta, seems to be coming along well.
Good game, but hard to play successfully.
