DerrocAr: The Week of Five Presidents is a political strategy game set during Argentina’s turbulent December 2001. Players lead senators and governors, balancing public support, regional conflicts, the economy, laws, decrees, debt, and opportunities for embezzlement. Card operations, lobbying, media pressure, and unfolding events create a volatile contest in which short alliances can be useful but never permanent. After two phases of crisis management, the faction with the most Support wins. Modular rules let groups tune the complexity, and a solo mode recreates the struggle for one player.
