From BoardGameGeek
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
