Everyone should play the FT’s Chancellor Game, if only to be told that despite increasing public spending in a bid to clear the backlog in the courts, it turns out Britain is so broken that this won’t actually fix anything and the voters hate me 👉 ig.ft.com/chancellor-g...
I raised spending by £29bn a year and still made no difference...oops!
& will vote the Tories back in in 5 years for more cuts and madness despite your best efforts.😔
I managed to balance the books quite easily and increased spending where needed. But I did that by raising taxes. We're only broke because we tie our own hands.
A more complicated version of this kind of game is the Democracy series. I love building a public transit empire where everyone rides the mega buses and hyperloop trains to their free healthcare and universities.
Is there an “invade France and recapture Aquitaine then tax it” option? Otherwise am not playing
So you did my Democracy 3 saves?
Heh, trust me, it doesn’t matter how high you go- it always says it’s not enough. 😅😅 I am having a lot of fun with this, creating chaos budgets one after another 😄
I know its a bit of fun but a bit more granularity on departments spending would have been 👍. Was very hard with broad categories. Still hit the fiscal rules which surprised me tbh.
