What is Dear Leader

Description from the publisher:

Dear Leader is an easy, banter-driven game about making things as hard as possible for Kim Jong-un, dictator of North Korea. Advisors use up the easy, sensible solutions and force Kim Jong-un into ridiculous extremes of problem solving, and while making themselves as troublesome as possible they must be acting as helpful and servile as possible, pleasing the Leader while frustrating him.

Each round begins with the draw of a Policy Card that one player reads aloud. The Policy Card describes a threat to North Korea which upon which Kim Jong-un must render a decision. After each advisor has suggested their own unique solution to the issue at hand, Kim must come up with his own completely novel answer to prove he's smarter than everyone in the room and always knows best. And this, of course, is the correct answer.

The advisors clap with delight over this display of wisdom, whether they like it or not, and then take turns extrapolating Kim’s solution to make it grander and grander. Kim then insults each offering for suggesting that it improves on his wisest of decisions.
