Imagine the scene: the world has plunged into a pandemic, chaos is everywhere, and the economy is in shambles. For most, it's a nightmare; for you, it's a golden opportunity! In 'Your Excellency: Public Calamity', you take on the role of a newly elected federal deputy who refuses to let a global crisis go to waste. While the population struggles, you'll be busy opening public coffers and implementing emergency measures that, quite conveniently, favor your own bank account.

The goal is simple: leverage the 'perfect storm' to gather support, win over voters, and, of course, accumulate as much money as possible to ensure your long-term survival in power. It's a game of pure cunning and political strategy, where ethics are optional and staying in office is the only real priority.

A key point is that this game is 'standalone'. This means you can buy and play Public Calamity on its own without needing the base game, but if you already own 'Your Excellency: The Political Game' and other expansions, you can mix them all together for an even more chaotic and complex experience. It is fully compatible with both the 1st and 2nd editions of the original game. Inside the box, you'll find everything you need to start your 'public service' journey: politician cards, party cards, maneuvers, events, infamy cards, and the money markers you'll love to hoard. Get ready to roll the dice, manage your hand, and betray your party colleagues if that's what it takes to reach the top. After all, who said crises aren't profitable?
