Hello and thanks to everyone for participating in Mr. President’s Early Access! As Steam Summer Sale arrives (June 25 - July 9) we have a game update with new features and content.

Midterm Elections and Reelection have been added to the game to allow you to win over Congress and extend your game to 8 years, if you can convince the voters. At game start there’s also an option to use an easier variant that should ease some of the challenges of your term in office. We’ve also added more Crisis Event, Cascading and Terrorism cards for more variability in the gameplay.

Please continue to report any bugs you find in either our Steam Forums or on the Discord. We check in there often and really appreciate your help! Now on to the new features with 0.9.0:

New Features

Initial “Easier” game mode added with some gameplay tweaks to make success more likely.
Midterm Election added at the end of Turns 2 & 6 to enable Congress changing party control.
The potential for re-election added to the end of Turn 4, but make sure you have your party’s support in order to be nominated!
Added many more Crisis Event, Cascade and Terrorism cards to the Crisis Deck.
A Discord button has been added to the settings menu to link to our Discord community.

Major Bug Fixes

[Gameplay] A crash that occasionally occurred at the end of the Legislative Segment has been fixed.
[Gameplay] The actions on Crisis Card #174 have been corrected to be applied to any region.

Minor Bug Fixes

[Gameplay] A bug where some crisis chits incorrectly skipped an additional chit draw have been fixed.
[Gameplay] Some logical errors regarding the rewards (or consequences) in Crisis Cards have been corrected.

User Interface/User Experience Updates

[UX] Several typos have been corrected in the text displayed in the game.

Upcoming Features

We’re heading toward the full release of Mr. President at the end of July and are focused on finishing some final features as well as focusing on polishing the game based on the feedback the community has given us on Discord and the Steam Forums.
