Political Board Games
In a way, President Forever 2008 is a political board game. You can easily imagine a board laid out in front of you with a map of the states, political cards and tokens for various game activities, money like in Monopoly, and so on. It is turn-based.
The difference, of course, is that political board games are limited in the complexity of the world they can simulate much more so than computer political games - and it’s difficult to create playable players without other humans around in a board game. In a sense, then, games like President Forever 2008 + Primaries are really sophisticated, hyper-board games.
