About the Game

RUN YOUR CAMPAIGN. WIN THE PRESIDENCY.

SimElection USA is a turn-based political strategy game where you take control of a presidential campaign and fight your way to the White House.

Build your candidate, shape your message, and navigate a system where money, media, influence, and timing decide everything.

────────

THINK LIKE A REAL CAMPAIGN STRATEGIST

Every turn is a high-stakes decision.

  • Raise funds and manage your campaign budget

  • Launch media campaigns and control the narrative

  • Conduct opposition research

  • Secure endorsements and political backing

Every move has a cost. Every choice has consequences.

────────

A DEEP, MULTI-LAYERED STRATEGY SYSTEM

Winning isn’t about a single number.

  • Public support

  • Territory control

  • Delegates and electoral votes

  • Momentum and timing

Everything is connected — and every mistake matters.

────────

COMPETE ACROSS THE COUNTRY

  • Fight for delegates in party primaries

  • Adapt your strategy region by region

  • Outmaneuver rivals within your party

  • React to a dynamic campaign environment

Only one candidate secures the nomination.

────────

WAR ROOM DECISIONS

  • Media attacks

  • Debate plays

  • Opposition research

  • Strategic leaks

The bigger the move, the greater the risk.

────────

FROM PRIMARIES TO THE WHITE HOUSE

  • Choose your Vice President

  • Shift to a national strategy

  • Compete for Electoral College victory

────────

EXPAND YOUR STRATEGY IN THE GENERAL ELECTION

  • Vice President missions (fundraising and bonuses)

  • Lobby groups and political influence

  • Foreign policy actions that impact national support

Time becomes your most limited resource.
