Mr. President: The American Presidency, 2001-2020 – 2nd Edition

About this board game

Mr. President: The American Presidency, 2001-2020 – 2nd Edition is a solitaire game for 1 player with a listed play time of 600 minutes, released in 2025. You take office after the election and face the demanding work of governing the United States in the early 21st century.

This is not an election game. It is a resource-management game about pursuing your agenda while managing limited resources, political enemies, public opinion, Congress, the press, and national security. Rival nations and competing agendas keep creating new problems, while your decisions and their results shape a storyline that is different every game.

The 2nd Edition builds on extensive player experience and the first edition FAQ. It addresses errata, clarifies rules, and adds enhancements intended to make later years more challenging while giving several areas greater importance and more difficult choices.

• Updated cards, counters, action cards, manuals, charts, and booklets
• Expanded Ally Relationships and Actions
• Changes to Strategic Capabilities and combat, including counterattacks, carrier support, and combat modifiers
• Updated rules for Iran at War, including a new Action Table
• Additional cascading events, including the January Surprise

Each game asks you to decide which priorities can receive attention when you never have enough resources to accomplish everything. The unfolding consequences may leave you thinking “POTUS? Piece of Cake!” or wondering why you ever wanted the job. Mr. President delivers a long-form solo challenge centered on leadership, uncertainty, and the consequences of presidential choices.
