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

Great Potential

This game is great and has so much potential. I can see the vision. I do think that there’s definitely room for expansion for instance government choices from pre WWII through to Wilson as many strong secretaries of state within those governments such as MacMillan, Baldwin, Attlee, Bevin, Bevan, Eden, Churchill and Butler to name but a few.

Also maybe even the possibility of adding the best shadow or nearly governments from that timeframe as a possible fun expansion maybe a setting that could be turned on and off if necessary. I also think the game could be be involved after the cabinet is selected as it seems hard to get beyond 6yrs maybe the ability to make some in term decisions and see the reelection process so it’s more involved and also rewarding and replayable but I definitely think the game is a solid one and a strong foundation that I hope sees a bright and promising future 😁
