I haven't actually played this game, but I'm in it. I played Gail. Enjoy that aspect, at least. I'll play it now I have it. Ha!
I enjoyed this game and finished it. I was eventually overthrown by a coup and jailed. But ended up spending my retirement years in the country with my doting family. Not unlike my own life. The degree of political knowledge displayed by the writers is very detailed and if you don't mind spending a lot of time reading up on the various states and personalities, you can have a good time with it. Don't get this game if you don't like reading but be reassured that the reading time is worth it. It is intriguing and just a little unsettling when you realize that a lot of the goings-on in this fictional country ring quite true. I gave it a 4 rating because I did find that a some of the decisions you make often seem to have the opposite effect later on. But not often enough to make it annoying. I say, give it a try.
