About this game

Ishii Hisaichi no Daiseikai, also known as Hisaichi Ishii’s Great Political World, is a farcical political-themed strategy board game based on the works of cartoonist Hisaichi Ishii.

Players take the role of a budding politician working toward becoming the Prime Minister of Japan. The game is menu driven, with daily decisions including visiting locations and meeting specific people.

Progress depends on gaining experience by solving citizens’ problems and building enough popularity to win the popular vote. Campaigning and items can both be used to influence public opinion.
