Description

At some point in the not-so-distant future, we humans had to look for a new place to live. Just when we thought we'd have to settle for Mars, we suddenly discovered a new planet, one we lovingly christened "Planet B". It was a second chance for humanity, and of course we were determined to do everything right this time because as everyone knows, we humans learn very well from our mistakes.

In Planet B, you slip into the role of corrupt governors. You make crooked deals with corporations to advance your own interests. You build your city, let the population work for you, rise in the favor of political factions, or control the news. Of course, all of this comes at a price - and by the time you're vying for the presidency, you'll want potential voters to be on your side. In the end, as always, only one thing counts: Who has managed to pocket the most government money?

  • Conglomerates - Make deals to put your plans into action. You can do that legally or in not-so-clean ways.

  • Buildings - Build your city and use the population to get as much out of it as possible.

  • Presidency - Make sure you're prepared with enough votes to become President. Or maybe at least enough for Vice?

  • Breaking News - The media is always a great way to show how much you're doing for "the people".
