About The Political Machine 2016

Run for President of the United States as one of dozens of past or present presidential candidates or create your own ideal candidate. Give speeches, go on talk shows, hire unsavory operatives, and do whatever it takes to win on election day.

Time for some Mudslinging!

Use your power and money to purchase ads to discredit your opponent and influence voters.

Dozens of Candidates

Play as one of several pre-made past and present candidates like Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, and more.

Turn Friends into ‘Frenemies’

Challenge a friend for the presidency in multiplayer mode.

Create a Candidate

Not a fan of the candidates? Create your own custom front runner and race for the White House.

Out-talk, Out-smart, and Out-spend your opponents

Gain favor with the public by interviewing on talk shows, navigate disastrous random events, and buy advertisements to gain an advantage over your adversary.

Practice your Politics

A sophisticated underlying simulation model uses census data and real issues to test your political savvy.

Be Ready for Anything

Torrid affairs, natural disasters, email scandals, and other random events can come out of nowhere and change the direction of the campaign for better or worse.

Check your Standings

With poll tracking and leaderboards, you can see how well people are playing as their candidates or what issues they are supporting over time.
