This is the best game to scratch that political itch that you have

Dec. 2024

A very thoughtful foundation to political strategy games. Some elements of foreign policy, resource reserves, park lands, epidemics, celebrity personalities, etc are missing but that is more-so due to funding and scope for a small development team in 2013. Worth many hours of relevant policy experimentation in democratic nations.

Dec. 2024

A silly bit of fun. Its very easy so its the kind of game where you have to make your own fun but if making a socialist utopia and then trying to turn it in to a capitalist military state without it all falling apart sounds fun you'll like this game.

Dec. 2024

good game, small problem is everytime my economy reaches even a photon of light, like, 3 flash crashes hit it and it goes bye but other than that, gud gaem

April 2024

Fun time-waster. Many different policies to choose to implement (or not!), sometimes with unexpected/unintended results! Many contemporary issues are included to be addressed."Extremists" DLC not recommended for beginners. The only gripe I have is the poor choice of cabinet members (tho what else can you expect, they're politicians!).
