Presidency or Prison: A Card Game of Power, Parody, and Payback
Presidency or Prison (PoP) is a satirical, American-politics-themed strategy card game that turns headlines into a battle of points, perception, and power. Set in a stylized universe that echoes the modern presidential climate, players confront Dotard, a demagogue from the crumbling planet Perditus who rules through lies, fear, and a mind-hacking substance known as Blue Candy. Instead of voting, you fight back with strategy.
By combining and sequencing cards, you expose Dotard’s contradictions, interrupt his manipulative storylines, and build scoring engines that outpace his rise. Every turn is about tactical choices—synergy, timing, and calculated disruption. Beyond the satire, Presidency or Prison explores themes of propaganda, cults of personality, and how fragile truth becomes in a media environment flooded with illusion and disinformation.
Designed for players who enjoy political humor, social commentary, truth, and strategic card games, PoP asks: If power is built on lies, how many well-played truths does it take to bring it down?
