Mr. President: The American Presidency

Mr. President: The American Presidency invites you into a riveting solitaire experience that places you in the powerful shoes of the President of the United States. After election day, your journey begins in the iconic Oval Office, where your primary mission is to advance your agenda while overcoming the unique challenges that come with leading a nation.

As you navigate political opposition, public sentiment, and international relations, every decision you make has significant consequences. You will grapple with the reality that resources are always limited—prioritizing critical objectives while balancing pressing crises is the key to your success.

Your adventure unfolds dynamically based on your choices, leading to exhilarating triumphs or daunting setbacks. Enlist a diverse cast of allies and strategic assets to address both domestic and global issues. Rely on your Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense for foreign policy and military support, while domestic advisors and congressional allies help steer your path through the political landscape.

The gameplay is enriched by a thoughtful map that guides you through intricate domestic and international scenarios affecting your presidency. Key components include:

• Congress: Keep tabs on crucial legislation and identify your allies and opponents.
• Advisors and Assets: Access vital advisors, resources, and military assets as needed.
• Crisis Management: Handle Crisis Cards while assessing the state of ongoing issues.
• The World: Monitor global dynamics across eight regions, with a keen focus on key challengers like Russia and China.

With over 150 Crisis Cards that showcase a vibrant array of domestic and global events—including crises, terrorism, and unexpected opportunities—each playthrough delivers a fresh experience. Over the course of eight turns, each representing six months of your presidency, you’ll revisit your prior decisions and strategize for the challenges ahead.

Every month, prepare for the unexpected as you draw three Crisis Cards, bringing urgent issues to your doorstep. As you confront these crises, leverage your advisors and assets to push your legislative goals, resolve conflicts, engage in diplomacy, and enhance your standing with both the public and international figures.

Your presidency is further complicated by six key action cards depicting Russian and Chinese maneuvers, acts of terrorism, and wartime developments—adding depth to your governance and strategic choices.

Mr. President is more than just a game; it’s an immersive experience that captivates avid solo players. A full playthrough takes between four to eight hours, making it ideal for both deep, engaging sessions and shorter playtimes.
