1924: 'Silent Cal' in The Silent Decade

To play: Purchase the game from the above "Games for Watermelon" bundle.

100 years ago, the United States of America was in an era of so-called unparalleled and unprecedented prosperity. Four years prior, the American voters chose to rebuke the progressive project of President Woodrow Wilson and tilt the country in a more conservative, "normal" direction under Republican Warren G. Harding.

1924: 'Silent Cal' in The Silent Decade (also known as Coolidge+) is a special, timed-exclusive expansion to Calvin Coolidge's side of the hit Campaign Trail mod '1924: The Silent Decade'. In it, you play as President Calvin Coolidge, from the moment he is sworn in following the death of President Harding until the 1924 Presidential Election. From there on, you must chart a path for you and your party.

While Coolidge remains a popular figure, there are both challenges and opportunities during the campaign. Warren Harding left office and the mortal plane with his administration under fire for numerous scandals, and the progressive wing of the GOP is dissatisfied with the current administration. 

Depending on the course you take the country, the contested Democratic National Convention can nominate several possible nominees, each changing the gameplay to some degree. Unlike the default version of the mod, this version includes some bigger names like William Gibbs McAdoo, Al Smith, and Thomas Marshall. Your actions also affect the possible running mates you can choose. There are 30 achievements to unlock, and different endings depending on your actions.
