What to Expect
Players take the roles of ambitious animals competing for party leadership, using hand management and simultaneous action selection to climb ranks and influence media. Expect bargaining, betrayals, and a contested Corruption token that scores while held. Social reading of opponents is as important as the cards you play, leading to tense, discussion-driven rounds.
Who Is This Game For?
Suited to groups who enjoy social deduction, negotiation and bluff games; it leans toward a medium-weight experience for players aged 10 and up. The roughly 40-minute playtime fits casual game nights or as part of a longer evening. Some prior experience with negotiation games is helpful but not required.
How It Works
Each round involves simultaneous action choices, voting and negotiation: players manage hands, form and break alliances, and vote to affect party positions. Alliances and negotiation shape access to benefits, while hand management drives tactical options. The overarching goal is to reach the required victory points to claim the presidency.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Nico Cardona, President blends Bluffing with Voting and Negotiation in a political setting and centers on a point-scoring Corruption token. Its support for up to ten players and relatively short duration make it notable for larger social groups.

Contra

Setting & atmosphere
