About this board game
President is a strategic bluffing and negotiation game for 3 to 10 players, played in about 40 minutes. Ambitious animals compete for leadership within their political party, using cards, alliances, and accusations to pursue the presidency.
Your objective is to reach 7 victory points. Play your cards to climb the party ranks, build media influence, or trigger surprise actions that can disrupt the political contest. Reading your opponents is just as important as managing your own hand.
Negotiation is at the heart of the experience. Make alliances when they serve your ambitions, then decide whether to honor them or pursue a more advantageous path. Accuse rivals, respond to shifting plans, and use bluffing to conceal your intentions.
- Use cards to climb party ranks.
- Gain media influence or trigger surprise actions.
- Make and break alliances while accusing rivals.
- Fight for the Corruption token, which brings valuable points while you possess it.
The Corruption token adds another reason to challenge your opponents, offering valuable points to whoever holds it. With shady deals, strategic betrayals, and chaotic twists, every negotiation can carry significant consequences.
In President, all moves are fair game in the pursuit of power. Whether you rely on careful strategy, persuasive deals, or well-timed betrayals, success depends on how well you read the table and play your hand.
