## Description
In this game you are playing as a just elected mayor of the small Bavarian
village Tupfingen. It is no serious political simulation but a snappy satire
of the Bavarian lifestyle and their politics.
When you start your game you have to choose your political goals, e.g. support
the agriculture or become the site of the Olympic Games. The most important
businesses of Tupfingen are tourism, agriculture, small business enterprises
and clubs. Of course every one of them wants you to support them and every one
has lobbyists in the local council which have the power to foil your plans if
dissatisfied. If that’s the case you have to bribe your way to success – but
not with official money but with the winnings of your butchery (which success
depends also on the political situation).
Every round lasts a few minutes in which you have to adhere deadlines to every
important decision which arises, e.g. negotiations with estate agents or
potential investors. Also there is the matter of expanding the agenda for the
next local council meeting. On these meetings you have to enforce your plans
against your political enemies – with arguments or bribes. A special gimmick
are humorous videos from the German news magazine “heute journal” with the
original newsreaders where they comment on your successes or failings.
The graphics are consisting solely of stills, Bavarian folk music accompanies
you during the game.
