About the game
Find out what our future President will do when their golf courses are threatened by a cannibal incursion, the milk delivery is hijacked on the way to the Bullet Farm, and oh man oh man, your daughter is so, so hot. The hottest. Because what's more fun than a dismayingly dark future in which everything we love is threatened by uncertainty? It’s a Dear Leader hack set in a (what was imagined at the time to be unthinkable) near future of the U.S.A. —description from the designer
