Supreme Leader

This is a great game for history buffs. The game creates great discussion and inspires some learning on the side. I plan to use it in my world history classroom for fun! Only downside is that requires a medium size group to play, so it involves some game night planning.

A wide open game of backstabbing, alliances, and tense moments. Has a feel of a hidden role game without the hidden roles, and the player elimination problem many games face is avoided brilliantly in this one.

Supreme Leader was a pleasant surprise! It relies heavily on who you play with, but with the right group this game really shines.

The political intrigue and alliances that can fall apart within seconds is a thrilling experience, with a player (and sometimes more than 1) getting eliminated every round can make for a fairly quick game. However!

Being eliminated and becoming apart of the “United Nations” is easily just as fun as being in the game. You can easily make an “active” player your puppet and bend them to your will or they risk being eliminated by the very powerful UN.

I would say the only gripe would be the rulebook has no images to guide you, and I do wish it was more clear in some areas (Does “Choose a Player”, mean any player including yourself?), some text could be more clear on the cards, but it doesn’t hurt the game in a dramatic way since the gameplay itself is fairly simple yet extremely political!

I would highly suggest anyone that enjoys history as well as political debates to give Supreme Leader a try.

This game has become the newest hit in our gaming group and I look forward to seeing it grow!

Fun social game in the style of Mafia/Werewolf. What separates it from (and, IMO, makes it better than) those is that there's no hidden information or guessing. It's purely about social manipulation and strategy.

I like the artwork, I like the theme and I like the designers' attention to detail when it comes to giving the historical personalities suitable play styles and abilities. I also generally like games like Werewolf and Supreme Leader gives the whole thing a twist, because you play with open roles and it's primarily about negotiating skills, persuasion and clever use of your resources to win a round - a very fun adaptation of mean politics.

What I don't like so much is the very long duration of the game in the worst-case scenario, which is particularly annoying in combination with the soft player elimination. Although the eliminated players are not completely out, as in Werewolf, their options are greatly minimized and waiting 60 minutes as an eliminated player for the end of the round is no fun at all. In addition, the rulebook and the card texts are not very polished, the wording is not consistent and there are often questions that cannot be answered clearly - and I like Supreme Leader.

I like "Supreme Leader", but objectively it's probably not a good game and I probably won't be playing it again.

Have to say I think the game is fun, has a great card art design, is possibly more friendship ruining than Mario party 64, may teach you something (yes i admit google was my friend is this game so i didn't look too stupid) and an interesting and interactive way to teach/learn about politics. This game is definitely worth playing.
