The Agenda

Inside the chamber

The Joint Crisis Committee splits delegates between the White House EXCOMM and the Soviet Presidium, with a live backroom feeding both cabinets intelligence — some of it true. Every directive you sign changes the world the other room wakes up to.

October 1962: reconnaissance photographs reveal missile sites in Cuba, and thirteen days stand between negotiation and annihilation. History reached a quiet resolution. Your committee is under no obligation to do the same.
