  • Click and hold to CLASP
  • Watch and Listen to the signals given by your handshaking partner.
  • Prioritize quality shakes with High Influence politicians.

5/4/26 : Added very silly rough controller support. Makes the game harder and easier?? 

  • Right Stick : Move Hand
  • Right Trigger : Clasp Hand

You can know the soul of a being by the shake of their hand, and a look in their eye.

The fate of all nations is at stake in these brief first impressions.

  3. don't miss a handshake
  4. Prioritize lots of shakes with high influence opponents
  5. avoid AWKWARD Grips
