About the Game
Ever wondered what it’s like to have a say in how the government works? With Branches of Power from iCivics, you’re handed the keys to all three branches of the U.S. government. Draft laws, set presidential agendas, and even give your verdict on freshly-passed bills—it’s a hands-on crash course in civics, except you’re the one pulling the strings. Whether you’re curious about how things get done in Washington or just want to see what it’s like making big decisions, this Educational game makes it all feel pretty real.
