The year is 1912, and Francisco Madero is president of Mexico. Players work to shape Mexico in the image of their revolutionary character while trying to keep Mexico from descending back into chaos.
Description:
Just last year Madero and his top general ousted the long-standing president (some say dictator) Porfirio Díaz, who is now in exile. But the country is far from stable. A basic cultural rift between elite and the poor portends a sequence of tumbling revolts. Participants are assigned historical roles that are charged with stabilizing Mexico and preventing further civil war. The goal is to reform Mexico and make it a better nation for all of its inhabitants—but Mexicans and foreigners worry that without a firm hand, Mexico’s governance might spiral out of control. At what cost will progress come?
