Description

Electioneering is a turn-based game and simulation based on the 2020 U.S. Election. Players focus on changing voter opinion to win votes for the candidate they support. Events such as Trump's Impeachment or the COVID-19 outbreak create new issues for the voters to consider. The game allows users to research topics within each issue, such as Trump's acquittal and the first Covid-19 case in America, and make strategic ad buys to sway the voters. All ads apply spin. As with the actual election, opponents apply strategies designed to win undecideds using any method they can to win. Your job is to learn what voters think by taking out polls, hacking the candidates, and stealing information from their campaign! Winning the nation's support takes real skill. Electioneering mimics this new environment, asking users to choose between hundreds of different Events, Issues, Topics, and Arguments (spin) to reshape the conversation and even the country.

History

It's been 4 years since you last got this phone call. It's time. America is choosing a new leader, and the world is watching. Some of us are doing more than watching; we're falsifying information, we're spreading lies. We're Electioneering. This time it's Trump and Biden; it's your job to use all the resources at your disposal to make sure that your candidate wins. Can you convince the voters to ignore what they see, ignore what they feel, and vote your way? Can you lie, cheat, and steal this election? We'll give you a weekly stipend and some contacts; the rest is up to you. If you get caught, we don't know you. If you lose, well. These aren't the kind of people you want to disappoint.
