Mr. President: The American Presidency, 2001-2020

Play as the sitting President of the United States, managing a four-year term in a changing domestic and international landscape. This solitaire, resource-management game runs in eight six-month turns (each with six monthly rounds) during which players draw Crisis Cards, resolve urgent and lingering problems, and spend advisors, assets, and action points to advance legislation, conduct diplomacy, fight terrorism, and respond to crises. The board tracks Congress, advisors and assets, crisis status, and eight world regions plus special tracks for Russia and China, each with variable postures and country-specific AI. Over 150 scenario-driven cards and multiple subsystems create a different storyline and strategic trade-offs every game.
