How it plays
In multiplayer, up to four presidents each run their own islands on a shared map, working toward common goals or racing each other, and can trade goods along the way.
A game builds up over hours, so it suits a relaxed group who like city builders and dry political jokes.
It works on PC, PlayStation and Xbox; the Switch version is single-player.
