Reviews
Poor tossup states
Trump2020. tuejhhdis
This game does not know the safe and tossup states. I loss Indiana Georgia and North Carolina when they are all in the lean republican column and I win Connecticut with out even campaigning there. New Mexico is a democratic state not tossup. Missouri is safe republican, not tossup. Washington is safe democratic and same with Oregon. How is New Jersey only a lean. Minnesota isn’t a tossup and neither is NC.
All the tossup states are just turned democratic!!

Honest Opinion
TheFishBoy ?
This game could be fun, but it’s the not really. Other team will always go for the main states you will go for witch is really annoying but makes sense, first time playing, bearly even won, by just a few points, no matter what though never give up fighting for the state, but be smart in the way you claim states. Go Big, but also small, the game could be way better in some areas, and I don’t fully recommend but it’s not as bad...
Fun, if limiting
TurquoiseNotebook
There are plenty of election simulation games around, and I’d say this one is slightly better than average. You have only 2 possible actions each turn — campaign or fundraise — and you can do the former only in states that aren’t deemed “safe” for 1 party or the other, but there’s still a fair degree of strategy involved. When you do a single-player game, your opponent is a somewhat-intelligent AI who generally imitates your campaign trail to keep you from accumulating too great a lead in any state. (Tip: visit a few states as many times as possible, so you build up an insurmountable lead.) As for realism... Well, in the last game, Delaware went red while Florida and Ohio went blue. So, the results are generally somewhat fathomable, if not particularly likely.
Ok, but flawed
Fan23double06
What I realize in this game is regardless of whether you are Republicans or Democrats; you will lose a lot; merely because your opponent keeps competing for the exact same states you are, (Ohio, Florida, Virginia). It’s really boring when both you and your AI opponent have everything done merely on chance. (If you want to play a game just download a coin toss game online, because that’s the amount of fun you’ll have playing this.)
Ok game, but has flaws
Maxr1066
This is an ok game but has flaws, it is very much possible to win as either party you just need to know how the electoral college math works. It is very repetitive and if you play it right you have a 60/75% chance of winning. It really does not matter which party you play as in terms of difficulty. I have tried different strategies and they all fail except one.
