President Maker is a board game released in 2026 for 2–4 players, 30–45 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Bonghwan Ju and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Race, and Track Movement.
President Maker is a 2–4 player board game that captures the fierce intrigue and strategic maneuvers of a Korean presidential election through immersive gameplay. Each player becomes a fictional presidential candidate, traveling across the country to hold campaign rallies, gain public support through policies, and—at times—resort to political maneuvers. The election consists of two rounds before the final vote. Your total Support, along with the Engagement levels formed in each region over those two rounds, will ultimately determine the outcome of the Vote Count. The fate of each candidate hinges on two forces: the loyal base built throughout the campaign, and the voters who show up on election day to cast their decisive ballots. Step into a parallel Korea and challenge yourself to become its next president—through strategy, nerve, and a bit of political drama. —description from the publisher
President Maker supports 2–4 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 Maker is 30–45 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 Maker for ages 14 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 Maker has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
