How it feels

A turn-based political simulation where you navigate bribes and integrity to win votes, feeling like a strategic board game with a satirical edge.

What players say

Players describe Political Animals as a cute, short strategy game that feels like a board game. Many say it is simple enough to learn quickly but becomes repetitive and easy to exploit with the same strategy once figured out. Some report the game is unplayable due to missing text and broken menus.
