About this game

Game description from the publisher: Zahia as sports minister? Igor and Grichka for culture? Karl in the foreign office? Geneviève as home secretary? Now you are head of state and must form a government made up solely of the right people. Make the right decisions as there are 42 candidates and you have to choose the most competent for each of the six ministries. Your goal is to make your popularity increase faster than that of the other players. Si J'étais Président... (If I Were President...) is a simple, fun game with six game modes posing various types of challenges: shuffling cabinets, cracking the whip, enduring hung parliaments, etc. Let loose with your choices and the whole country will soon be head over heels in love with you!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
