The year is 1989. You are President of the United States in
transforming times. After forty years of oppression the people of
Eastern Europe are daring to defy their Communist overlords at home
and in the Soviet Union. And as President you too face daring
decisions: how far will you go to encourage democratic reform? How
much will you risk a Soviet crackdown on these freedom-seeking
peoples? Will your efforts help bring democracy to Eastern Europe
or will you provoke the Soviet Union to bring down its wrath
setting the cause of freedom back by decades?
This is a strategy game about presidential decision-making in the context of the Bush 41 presidency in those epochal years of 1989 and 1990. As Poland legalizes Solidarity as the Berlin Wall falls as people in every country take to the streets seeking greater freedom and human rights the world is changing under your feet. As President you must analyze changing situations weigh risks and make decisions all while trying to keep your alliances healthy your relationships with foreign leaders strong and the drive towards freedom and democracy always moving forward. And in the end you can compare your successes and failures with those of President Bush 41.
