4. This concludes the start-up phase.
Let's start the campaign. 
 

Election Game5. The map Screen.
The map screen is the place where all the action takes place.
Your character will start in his home state.
The map will have different colors.

Red stands for Republican, blue for Democrats and grey means that it's a swing state. The goal of the game is to win the election in more states than your opponent.

How do you win votes in a state?
There are various things you can do to win votes and take the White House, which include:
1- Make money, lots of money (fund raising & volunteers);
2- Buy ads in a state;
3- Go on a talk show;
4- Cheat and lie using the detective or covert agent;


Make Money Money is everything in the campaign.
With money you can buy ads, rally volunteers and start investigations.
How do I raise some money?
At the start of a week you can choose between a number of funding offers.
Choose wisely because the more money a fund generates the more likely it will get you in trouble (scandals).
Every fund will have an indication how save / risky it is.
You can also choose the save option "hold fundraiser banquet ", but you don't know how much money you receive and it's typically not that much! 
 

Election Game6. Rally volunteers 
Another great way to make money is to rally volunteers.
Volunteers use their manpower to make calls in a state and ask for donations.
The more volunteers you recruit the more money you earn!
Tip: Rally volunteers in states that you are popular and have a large population.

Buy ads
Let's start with buying ads. In a turn (week) you can visit all states and invest in ads in every state.
The more money you invest in a state the more votes you get in that state.
Make sure you are spending more money on ads than your opponent does.

 

Election Game7. Use the talk show
You can visit a talk show in the state you are currently in. Visiting a talk show can only be done once every turn (week). The outcome of the talk show can be positive or negative so watch out! 
 

Election Game8. Detective and Covert.
Are you struggling to beat your opponent?
There is always a way, maybe it's not exactly clean, but it works! Use the detective and the covert agent to play dirty. 

The detective will find the dirt you need. What is your opponent hiding? It takes some money and some time but he will find something you can use against your opponent. The deeper you dig the higher the reward will be. 

If that's not enough you can always cheat! Use the covert agent to plant something incriminating and leak it to the press. Your votes will rise and victory is just around the corner! The more money you spend the greater the result. 
 

F.A.Q.

"What do volunteers do?"
They raise money in a state. 

"Why should I buy ads?"
Ads generate votes, the more votes the better. 

"What do the colors of the map represent?"

"What do I gain by doing a talk show?"

"Why does the cost of travel fluctuate"
The further you travel the more money is cost to get there. 

"What purposes have the covert and detective buttons?
With the covert and detective buttons extra actions can be bought.
Like an investigation or an illegal action. Try it out and see what will happen. 

"I cannot start the talk show, help!"
Your candidate has to be in the same state where you want to start the talk show. And you can only do one talk show every week (turn).
