Description

A turn-based grand-strategy game about governing Israel. You are the prime minister on 15 May 1948. The ministers are the real ones, the map is real, and every historical fact comes with a source.

Each turn you appoint real ministers, divide a tiny budget, manage security, and face real decisions at their real dates, such as the First Truce and the Altalena affair.

The game deals with war, terror and the Holocaust as historical events. Its framing is Israeli, every fact cites a source, and no quotes are invented.
