Our take on The President
The premise puts political choices and the president’s survival together, rather than presenting leadership only as governing a country. Elections and alliances sit alongside the personal risk of staying alive, shifting the focus from public decisions alone to the pressures surrounding one leader.
What is The President?
Take the role of Tom Reed, Dora’s youngest head of state and an emerging Democratic Party leader.
This political simulation follows the strain of governing while facing consequential choices. Reed meets people with varied interests, weighs their intentions, and selects companions he can trust. His political circle matters during election campaigns and may determine whether he survives. The narrative examines the private pressures and dangers that accompany Reed as he moves through his time in national office.
How The President plays
- 01Political choices
- The president faces difficult decisions while living under pressure.
- 02Election alliances
- Choosing allies is part of winning elections.
- 03Survival stakes
- The president must also rely on allies to stay alive.
