We’re Doomed
‘Sir, the world is doomed!’ screams your subordinate. You, however, already know this. Because you’re the leader of one of the world’s great powers. This is the scenario of We’re Doomed. Along with other world leaders, you have to build a rocket to escape the end of the world. Although all of you are fighting for a common goal, the rocket only has so many seats, so you must do all you can to fight for yours. But wait! Except, don’t, because there is a timer! You have 15 minutes, no more!
