Presidency or Prison (PoP)

What is Presidency or Prison?

Presidency or Prison is a tabletop strategy card game and political satire project about power, truth, consequence, and what happens when public systems reward distortion instead of clarity.

What kind of game is it?

It is a multiplayer tabletop strategy card game built around unstable incentives, shifting advantage, and decisions that create both opportunity and liability.

How does it work?

Players make moves for leverage inside a shared system. The system records pressure through interaction, exposure, and delayed consequences. Strong positions can become liabilities as the environment shifts.
