About the game
President is a strategic bluffing and negotiation game for 3 to 10 players, where ambitious animals vie for leadership within their political party. Your goal: reach 7 victory points to claim the presidency. Use your cards to climb the party ranks, gain media influence, or trigger surprise actions. Make (and break) alliances, accuse rivals, and fight for the Corruption token, which brings valuable points while in your possession. Expect shady deals, strategic betrayals, and chaotic twists. In President, reading your opponents is just as important as playing your hand. How far will you go for power? In politics, all moves are fair game. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
President supports 3–10 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for President is 20–40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists President for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
President has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
