About This Demo

Experience the complexities and challenges of modern American leadership in this faithful digital adaptation of GMT Games’ acclaimed board game Mr. President: The American Presidency 2000-2020. Step into the Oval Office during two decades that transformed America and the world.

Select your Cabinet and guide your administration through pivotal moments in recent history - as well as those that didn’t happen, but could have. What if the global financial crisis had happened earlier - or been even worse? What if violence in Central or South America escalated to create a cartel-dominated rogue state? What if outsourcing and automation, or an oil price spike, drove a domestic political crisis? Make the crucial decisions that will define - or tarnish - your presidential legacy.

In this demo, you’ll get to play several Activation Segments. Some systems and parts of the board are Under Construction - we’re still building those, and they’ll be ready for the full release. We hope you enjoy this taste of the modern American presidency, and that you give us your feedback on fun, feel, and usability. After you play the demo, please send us your feedback in this survey on the demo home screen or leave your comments on our Steam forum!

Demo Features

This Steam Next Fest demo includes:

• Crisis events, both historical and counterfactual

• Domestic, diplomatic, military, and Presidential player actions

• A full activation segment for the People's Republic of China, one of the two Peer Rivals in the game

This demo previews the gameplay of Mr. President without the tabletop version's manual upkeep. Many parts of the game are still under construction, but the gameplay and interface should give players a good idea of what the experience in the full version will be like.
