Ranked Choice Voting

You are a candidate trying to become the state's next governor. You will be competing against five other candidates in an election that uses the ranked choice voting election method.

Each turn represents a week of campaigning. You will direct your campaign manager to select 3 actions in the game. You will choose to either court voters in a specific block of voters (by class, by political spectrum, or location within the state), all while increasing your name recognition, raising funds, and trying to maintain your popularity. At the end of four quick weeks of campaigning is election day. You will determine the winner and you will learn how easy it is to conduct a ranked choice voting election count.

This is a very fast paced dynamic game, playing in 30 minutes, with quick set up and take down. It has straight forward rules which produce many deceptively complex interactive decisions, and high replayability.

Will you be the candidate that can balance all the elements of the campaign, out maneuver our opponents, and become the next governor?
