Players use dice to move clock-wise on the outer rim of the board. They keep moving in circles until they have picked up 4 items and completed 4 tasks. Basically this involves landing on special squares or gaining said items or tasks through event cards. The items include a private jet, a huge house, etc. The tasks include getting a severence package, protesting outside parliament, etc. The game is won when a player has collected all 4 items and all 4 tasks, made his way to the big square in the middle - which is the press conference, where the player promptly resigns.
The heart of the game is found in the action cards. There are three types. "Recession" cards, "Booming Economy" cards and "Uncertain Times" cards. Each card has a heading, some text (event) and a result.
