  • City builder
  • Management
  • Humour

You're El Presidente of a Caribbean island at the height of the Cold War: you build, set wages, issue edicts and keep seven factions, the USA and the USSR happy, while strolling about as your avatar. Anger the people and the rebels turn up.

Why play it now

When you fancy a city builder with political satire: 15 missions with specific goals or an adjustable free-play mode.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys running an economy and juggling politics with banana-republic humour.

When not to pick it

If you want everything explained: the tutorial is thin and at normal speed everything moves slowly.
