Current Govt need to play this

Fun game, good concept! I wish some of our politicians would play this as mandatory training as they don’t seem to have a clue to be honest

Great thinking game

I enjoy this game a lot but I am unable to retry the daily brief which is a shame. I click retry and 2 ads play, when they finish and I close to return the message ‘ads didn’t complete retry’ happens every time. Maybe it’s for the best or I’d spend too long on it! Other than this I enjoy playing.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. This helped us identify a bug, which we’ve now fixed in our latest release. Hope you continue to enjoy the game!

Has potential

Has potential, but it would be good to go through different scenarios of each different cabinet position. For example, how to handle housing crisis etc. pick from 4 options. Public confidence, an actual election

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! We released our biggest update yet yesterday, including a brand-new In Office mode with more decisions and a much deeper governing experience. Hope you enjoy it, and we always welcome further feedback!

Great concept

It's made me completely rethink which politicians I'd actually trust in different Cabinet jobs. Simple to pick up but there's a lot more strategy than I expected.

A masterpiece

Got me right back into politics with a few names I’d forgotten about. Thatcher, Miliband et al
I look forward to competing with friends
