Short description
Run for President of the United States. Fight through a state-by-state primary, pick a running mate at the convention, trade blows across every televised debate, and hold your coalition together on election night — one decision a week, in a country paying attention to every one.
About this game
You are running for President. Every week is a choice — a donor dinner or a rally in Des Moines, a positive ad in Pennsylvania or an opposition hit that might backfire, a policy rollout or a fundraising sprint because the bank is too thin to keep the lights on. PolitiSim is a single-player political strategy simulator where you build a candidate, fight through a crowded primary, choose a running mate at the convention, and carry your coalition across the electoral map. A reactive opposition watches what you do — visit Pennsylvania three weeks in a row and the rivals show up too; dominate the debates and they pivot onto your weakest issue. No multiplayer, no card packs — just you, the calendar, and a country that has already made up its mind about most states and is paying very close attention to the handful it has not. What You Actually Do - **Build a candidate.** Choose your party, regional base, ideology mix, and three signature issues. Your coalition is not a preset — it is the shape of the voters you can and cannot win. - **Fight the primary.** Face a full rival field across a state-by-state calendar. Win delegates, survive televised debates, chase endorsements, and keep the cash flowing long enough to reach the convention. - **Pick your running mate.** At the convention, choose a VP from a scenario-specific bench. Each pick reshapes your map. - **Run the general.** Build battleground field offices, deploy volunteers and surrogates, buy state-level ads, and pressure the states that will actually decide 270. - **Hold it together on election night.** Watch calls come in in real time. Your earlier decisions — the debate you sandbagged, the state you abandoned in July, the scandal you paid to bury — are all scored at once. Launch Features - **Run six authored scenarios** spanning a modern cycle, two alternate 2024s, a historical 2012 recovery, a 2032 climate-and-AI cycle, and a 1992-flavored comeback where you start twenty points behind. - **Fight 50 states and D.C.** with their own demographics, partisan lean, and turnout behavior — no two maps play the same way. - **Survive live debates** with real choice architecture: answers shape trust, momentum…
