I liked the idea behind the game, and I even enjoyed it for a moment, but after playing through two campaigns with generally negligible differences at moderate difficulty, I quickly realized that I had purchased a game that I would maybe play for an hour or two, and would collect digital dust in my library. Pros - I enjoyed the event scenarios that generated random perks and drawbacks. Stuck in traffic? A police officer will help you out and gain you some logistics points (basically this game's action points), but the scandal will follow you around. A well-connected individual approaches you for some favors for his son? Expose him and gain an uptick in public opinion or help him for added fundraising perks. Cons - Once you've played through the game and learned the mechanics, there is very little challenge to it. Scandals only matter for a few thousand voters and do not seem to impact the election unless it's close (it's never really that close). If you have the money and logistics,...

I don't normally write reviews, this is my first one in fact. But I saw some of the negative reviews and just thought I would put my two cents in. To start, yes it is a pretty straight forward game. You won't find much depth here compared to Democracy. However, what is there is quite fun. I've only played through a few campaigns so far, but I enjoyed all my experiences. My first playthrough I just sort of got used to how turns worked and to efficiently use my staff. I abandoned that game and started a second, and I was pretty easily able to get a landslide victory in Autumn Island (USA basically) on the games default settings. Looking for more of a challenge, I tried a harder difficulty campaign on Winter Island (UK plus Ireland), with a different opponent (you can choose their personality, clean, corrupt, pragmatic or unpredictable. This effects what kind of staff they hire and how they play the game.) Anyway, my third game was wildly different from my first. In the first...

I'm sorry, I was super excited for this game but it just isn't fun. While it is kind of like Democracy and other games like that, the gameplay gets super repetitive and there aren't much random chances. There are customizable characters, but they are limited. Each animal that are on your staff has a special power and they help you. Also, the game is simpler than democracy in terms of understanding what your staff is doing and what you are doing each turn. But again, I just was not having much fun. The characters are super cute though! I'm sorry for the lack of information. I could only play 40 minutes because it just wasn't fun. Maybe other people like playing games they find do not fun for longer in hopes that it gets better, and for the sake of this game, I truly hope it does. But if you're the type that puts down a game after 48 minutes of just repetitive boring, then I wouldn't suggest it to you. Many of the other positive critics received the game for free. I paid for it. :/

I bought that game while looking the introduction of the game, I was kinda disappointed by the content. The game is beautiful, and funny, I ain't critize that, however it's funny for less than 60 minutes, it won't explain it price. I think, if you expect to play a game like "This is the police !" where you choices have an impact on the storyline you will be disappointed to finally find a very simple game with no real challenge nor real randomization of the events, nor real content on your campaign. I wouldn't have posted this review if the price of the game was 4/5 euros, I think it's it real price.

I'm an ultimate newbie here, but here's my experience with the game so far: 1. Customization - I'm very particular about details, so I really, really liked customizing every bit of the traits, skills, and weaknesses of my Lion and staff (my favorite so far is Eduardog the Preacher) and my platform. You also get to choose the length of the campaign, starting funds, and difficulty of your AI opponent. (Since it was my first game, I opted for the shortest campaign, the highest amount of funds and an easy but corrupt AI opponent.) 2. Difficulty - it took me some time to get all the actions (e.g. bribing, rallying, raising funds, giving gifts to district patrons), but the tutorial helped a lot. The game uses funds and logistics as requirements for each action, so the challenge lies in effectively using these resources to build your reputation on the island. Random situations and events will pop up mid game, leaving moral dilemmas. I originally wanted a clean campaign for myself, but when...

This game has a great concept, but there simply isn't enough base content in the game to be worth the price. The fun of the game gets lost after the first two or three games, as the formula of what you need to do is essentially the same thing every game. (Please see comments for more information on what I disliked about the game.)

I wouldn't say this is for everyone it's kind of like a more fast paced and cartoonish democracy. If you like political games you might enjoy this one.

An adorable game with possible outcomes. Cute drawings and tactical madness with just a flare or chaos to make each game unique and adds to the replay value. I'd recommend this for anyone who follows elections.

Started my campaign as well-mannered mouse, ended my campaign as a backstabbing rat. 10/10 would make up scandals about my opponent again.

This game is loads of fun! If you are looking for a deep political simulation, this is NOT your game. But if you are looking for a game that takes careful planning and strategy, requires you to make some tough choices, and is more than a little humourous; look no further! Barn yard animals haven't been this political since "Animal Farm"!
