Election Update: The Political Machine 2020

The Political Machine 2020 gets an update just before we do.

Famously accurate and scarily realistic, The Political Machine 2020 is set to feature all this year’s hopefuls, including Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard. Democratic frontrunners Biden, Sanders, Warren, and Buttigieg will also be available to control – along with their Republican counterparts.

“This game takes politics and brings them to players in a way that is fun and interesting,” said Stardock CEO Brad Wardell. “We use current data to model the US and voters in the game. The game emulates some of the unexpected things a candidate might have to deal with – natural disasters, national tragedies, economic crises – and immerses the player right in the middle of the insanity.”

“During the game, candidates will visit Town Halls which give them ideology points,” said Wardell. “They can then spend these points on owning certain issues. For instance, Bernie Sanders has ‘Medicare for All’ as an issue he can own, while Donald Trump uses points to purchase the ‘Build the Wall’ issue.”

Alongside the real deal, players can design their own candidates, giving the American public what they want and electioneering with skill, using the brand new Ideology Trees. This feature will allow each player to have a different playstyle and unique attributes, spicing up online play.
