About the Game

Politburo Simulator is a turn-based strategy game that puts you in charge of a fictional Communist country. As the General Secretary, your job is to manage your cabinet of Politburo members, make crucial decisions, and maintain control over your nation.

To stay in power, you'll need to navigate a complex web of political events. Each turn, you'll face new challenges—economic crises, internal power struggles, and international crises. Your decisions will directly impact public unrest, resources, capital, and your favor with Moscow.

Key Features

Appoint and manage your Politburo team, each with their own traits, loyalties and ambitions.

Make decisions that affect the state and your political standing.

Experience a rich tapestry of events inspired by the Cold War era.

Manage resources to keep your regime stable over 50 years.

Balance the interests of the Politburo, the public, and the Soviet Union.

Use your intelligence operatives and the military to give you an extra edge.

Every choice you make will shape the future of the nation. Will you defend the Revolution, or will history take its course? The fate of your regime is in your hands.
