MINISTRY OF EXCELLENT DECISIONS

MUTUALLY ASSURED
MAYHEM

Big egos. Bad decisions.
One small planet.

A turn-based strategy game about building a country, managing four rivals and making decisions that will look terrible in the minutes.

Inspect the damageRead the field manual
The metal command center surrounds the island map, inventories and four civic actions.
YOUR DESK. EVERYONE ELSE’S PROBLEM.

THE BRIEFING / PLEASE PRETEND YOU READ IT

Five countries.
Fifteen possible headaches.

Choose four opponents from a cast of fifteen caricature leaders. You command the centre island. What happens next depends on your orders, their personalities, and a worrying amount of optimism.

01 / PROCUREMENT

Build an arsenal.

Missiles, warheads, bombers and defence. A ready weapon is a threat. Deciding when to use it is your problem.

02 / PUBLIC RELATIONS

Win people over.

Grow your economy, run propaganda or try charm. There are ways to gain ground without making a crater.

03 / CONSEQUENCES

Watch it unfold.

Read each action at your own pace. Click ahead and the next animation begins while the previous one continues.
