Five star game, I Just wish that the makers of the game would do a counties work for every state. I also wish that the componoy would do a game where there is every government position and you could run and if you win you get to do the duties of that Job. For example jobs like President, Vice President, Senate, House, SCOTUS, Governor, Lt Governor, State senate, State House, Mayor of a city or town or County, City or County Council, City Or County Commission. That would be awesome.

Love it! like I do most of the icivics games. Only reason I docked a star is that I ran into a problem where in emergency situations I'd take things to the right dept and the task would still fail. Not sure if its a bug or if those events are meant to have rng with failure as a possibility but it was frustrating.

it's good! really entertaining and informative. however, i find that the customers are a little impatient! it's probably realistic to be quite honest, but it's still really stressful and rather frustrating.
