Cable News Campaign Simulator

The Empty Suit

Build a candidate, survive five regional rounds and a national sprint, then piece together 270 electoral votes before your rivals do. The map is fictional, the states are real, and nobody starts with a lock.

Candidate Setup

Stat Builder

Every candidate uses the same total points. You decide how your empty suit is wired.

Points Left: 12
Emerging Label Balanced Unknown

A candidate still vague enough to be all things to all people.

What You’re Walking Into

Race Format

Four total candidates run each game: you plus three AI opponents selected from a pool of four regional personalities.

Round Order

Southwest, West, Northeast, Midwest, South, then a five-turn Final National Push where every state is in play.

Tutorial Support

The first game opens with a guided briefing so the dashboard is easier to learn than the average Sunday talk show.
