Peer into their souls by getting them to play Civilization

'Starmer faces criticism after taking "horrifyingly pragmatic" approach throughout The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt'

Vision of Trump playing No Man's Sky. We could lock him in a room and feed him burgers three times a day.

Only if you find it fun - which Paradox games would the main UK party leaders play? (Lab/Con/Ref/LD/Grn/SNP/PC)

Not really a big Paradox games person myself. Just never got around to picking one up.

That's fair. Honestly they are colossal time sinks, and have very intense energy. Apart from Crusader Kings, which is the one they have the most fun making and is therefore the silliest.

I feel like the best way to sell CK3 to non-fans is to describe it as basically medieval Sims

Sod this,want to know their factions and battle plans in Warhammer Total War. I tend to go for the high elves, a basic shield wall with archers behind, dragon prince horsemen on the wings and maybe the odd flamespyre Phoenix or two rounding out the army and covering aerial attacks. Caster Lord, ofc

Pretty sure Kemi Badenoch would go Chaos. Warriors of or Demons of, I’m not sure.

She'd probably like the drill baby, drill approach of the Chaos dwarfs.

stellaris is basically football manager in space (and with an enormous amount of £ DLC)

Celebrity Football Manager?

Genuinely this appeals to me on a cellular level.

Bobby Jenners plays Fallout New Vegas, joins Caesers Legion as soon as humanly possible because they're the only way to survive an apocalypse.

Wes Streeting plays a company-friendly run of Outer Worlds.

steven miller playing the sims but the house is just a giant swimming pool with no stairs

donald trump playing tropico. we love the sugar cane don't we, such an old fashioned word, nobody says sugar cane anymore, but we love the sugar cane, we'll put one sugar cane here and another one there, clickety click, that's what they used to call it before all the woke people renamed it to click

angela merkel playing the free version of microsoft solitare that came with windows xp in total silence

ed milliband playing pokemon go on an ebike

gordon brown opening microsoft excel and saying it's his favorite game

Did he find the flight simulator they hid in excel 97?

jeremy corbyn playing monopoly go while being constantly furious

It's called Eve, tyvm

Tony Blair plays Tiberium Twilight and claims to like it

he insists guitar hero is his favorite but conspicuously unaware of what songs it has

Nigel Farage plays Company Of Heroes as the British thus putting absolutely everyone off the game AND defying their own expectations

Kemi Badenoch plays Age of Empires II but rushes headlong into the enemy with two scouts instead of gathering resources and building up an army.

Lee Anderson surprises everyone when he names Carmageddon as his favourite game

kamala harris playing GTA V, and is disturbingly into it

I'll take him on at Cowboys From Hell

Jeremy Corbyn playing Minesweeper on expert mode to enjoy all those sweet, sweet losses.

Immediately thought about the psychological warfare that could be waged by making the cabinet play The Quarry in coop

All joking aside didn't AOC actually do this with Among Us?

A lot of politicians have streamed themselves playing games.

I think instead of leader debates they should have leader TTRPG sessions, leaders of 2/3 main parties to DM one session each

I have missed out....

It would be very revealing to just get them to play half an hour of Disco Elysium and see how many times they each hit the "Say nothing" option after the police radio asks if they've lost their gun

Donald Trump trying to unlock the harem ending in an Otome game.

Does he solve this by finding an Easter egg in which the harem piss on him? 😏

Kemi Badenoch getting into a flame war in Solitaire

Trump playing Crusader Kings, 100% taking the cannibal route.

Jeremy Corbyn's Red Dead Redemption II

Or lemmings, going retro.

Liz Truss's Crash Bandicoot

Her Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley save would be interesting.

who’d be Astarion?

Would certainly be interesting to see which of our politicians would go “well, he’s hot, so who cares that he kills people and tries to kill you?”

“*sigh* Another chaotic evil character, you say? Fine.”

we'd learn a lot about all the party leaders from a Suzerain play-through

Only if they played it properly and just looked at their phones whilst the choices are explained and then picked an option based on a vague understanding of what they are talking about

Starmer plays a human fighter and romances Wyll.

Ed Davey plays KotOR
