The year is 1989. You are President oftheUnited States in transforming times. After forty yearsofoppression, the people of Eastern Europe are daring to defytheirCommunist overlords at home and in the Soviet Union. AndasPresident, you too face daring decisions: how far will you gotoencourage democratic reform? How much will you risk aSovietcrackdown on these freedom-seeking peoples? Will your effortshelpbring democracy to Eastern Europe, or will you provoke theSovietUnion to bring down its wrath, setting the cause of freedomback bydecades?This is a strategy game about presidential decision-making inthecontext of the Bush 41 presidency in those epochal years of1989 and1990. As Poland legalizes Solidarity, as the Berlin Wallfalls, aspeople in every country take to the streets seekinggreater freedomand human rights, the world is changing under yourfeet.
