Management-styled game based on the BBC tv series. Very faithful to the source material, which makes it a must for fans; for everyone else it's an unusual choose-your-own-adventure game. Your aim is to improve your poll rating over 5 days so that you can remain Prime Minister. However, doing this involves having to outwit the Civil Service (in the form of Sir Humphrey Appleby, ostensibly your advisor as the Cabinet Secretary, but who will also push his agenda as the head of the Civil Service) and various other interests.

An original and interesting game - unfortunately, the lack of random elements keeps replayability low.

This one I was frankly scared about because I am very unfamiliar with the TV show its based on, I never really watched it. I am sure if I was more familiar with it I'd understand it more but I certainly like the tongue-in-cheek style of the game, asking potentially promoting the constable to sergeant to cover the Trade Secretary's drink driving arrest. But there are times were not a lot is happening and it just becomes tedious. But with more time I'm sure I can get my way through this, this does go on for five days after all.
