About this game

Are you looking for carefree holiday pleasures in a tropical island paradise? Do you like to sip ice-cold Pina Coladas from cocktail glasses with small colorful umbrellas? Do you dream of dozing under the palm trees on the sandy beach? If your answer is yes to any of these, Caribbean Disaster is the game for you. Caribbean Disaster is a savvy strategy game that breaks the mold of the genre, gets your brain working at peak performance, and pushes your sense of humor to the limit. The game features scrollable island views with variable zoom, animated locations, and complex strategy game-play.

Somewhere in the ocean is a little island, inhabited by a President and three ministers of the air force, navy, and army. The island also has ten other resident citizens. Every morning the President receives money from the American and Russian embassies, which can be given to the ministers or spent to improve the President’s residence in the Arctic. When two of the three ministers vote against the President, there is a vote of non-confidence and an election happens. Now the player has to convince the population of their leadership abilities, using the unique skills of special contacts: the chief of the Secret Police, for example, arrests political enemies (the ministers), the radio disc jockey spreads false news and the priest sells weapons. Three types of weapons also enter into these negotiations - tanks, zeppelins and submarines, one fitting each of the Defense ministries. After every round the player can attack their political enemies in a very military fashion.
