Campaign Manager puts you at the heart of the American political process. In this detailed simulation, you must manage a national campaign by allocating limited resources across fifty states. Hire staff, buy media spots, and conduct polling to identify where you need to spend your time. With historical and modern scenarios, you'll need to master the Electoral College to claim victory on election night.

Our Expert Score

82/100

Campaign Manager: Election Game is a surprisingly deep and addictive political simulation that manages to turn the complex bureaucracy of a US presidential election into an engaging strategy experience. As a fan of the genre, I was impressed by how the game forces you to make tough calls between fundraising and actual campaigning. You can't be everywhere at once, and the tension of watching your polling numbers fluctuate in swing states like Ohio and Florida as election night approaches is genuine.

The UI is clean, focusing on a map-centric view that makes it easy to visualize your 'path to 270.' While the graphics are functional rather than flashy, the simulation depth is where it shines. You have to balance negative ad campaigns against building your own platform, all while keeping an eye on your dwindling budget. It’s a great pick for anyone who enjoys political junkery or high-stakes resource management games.

Good but needs more
Tue Jun 12 2018 CooperKate

First, I would like to say how much I enjoy this game. It’s definitely one of my favorite apps to play. However, it feels lacking in some aspects. It would be nice to have an election where all the state’s political affiliations are randomized, meaning you have no idea how easy or hard that match will be. Also, the difficulty levels should also determine how much money you have at the beginning. I would like to see more candidates and random events to pop up. Please guys, I humbly beg you to not abandon this game. Give it love and let it grow to what I know it can be.

Please do more!

This is by far one of the best political games we have on the appstore! although there is a lack of gameplay and limited years to play I think that the game has a lot of potential! It would be cool to have a separate game mode where you can go more in depth within each state, like county’s, etc... Also you should add more options for interacting with voters as the campaign manager as well as more interactive candidate features. I think being able to manipulate each candidates policy views a tad each way would make a really cool and unique battle in the country! I also think that there should be more years and more variation in who’s running when. Say I wanted to see an Obama V Trump in 2012, you should create a way to see how trump as a candidate and Obama as a candidate would play out ( each state swaying in favor for one candidate more than another, etc ). These would all make for really cool and unique gameplay that lacks on the app store, just recommendations though, I just get bored of playing!

LOVE this game… almost

I love the game, the only major improvement that I would recommend would be to have sound controls because I can never listen to music while playing this game because I will hear a loud, annoying, clicking noise any time that do anything in the game. Otherwise though I find this game so much fun and would highly recommend it to anyone that likes to play around with election maps or to someone who is interested in doing so.

Okay game, good potential.

This game is great. You'll get money randomly from fundraising and spend it on each state on various campaign aspects attempting to win voters. Personally though I would like to see more features, especially some kind of feature to randomly have controversies occur, a feature for the three debates, and even more. Overall decent for $3 but just would like to see more.

Love the game

I love this game very much but I was wondering if it was possible to add Ross Perot to the 1992 and 1996 elections. Just would love to see Elections where a 3rd party can be a spoiler or even win. Another idea would be to add events (like a presidential debate which could go good or bad) that would affect your candidate’s poll numbers in the game. I apologize if it seems like I’m asking too much but I just have a lot of ideas because I play this game so much.

Midterm election?
Fri Sep 28 2018 andyv18

I love this game and I would be all day playing it, but it could be even better! Why not add midterm election? Have the same mechanism for US Senate elections as for Presidential elections, add all midterm elections since 1988, and if you want, charge$ more for it, and it would be great to add the 1988 Bush vs Dukakis election! I love the current update but it could be even better since there in NONE midterm election game. I'll certainly pay$ more for it without a doubt!

Recent Update Is Good, But Has A Few Mistakes
Sat Apr 25 2020 AR5988

Was really excited to see the most recent update. I’ve enjoyed the gameplay, but I noticed in the historical election that the random events use “Trump” in place of every Republican candidate’s name. Just a minor issue. In future updates, I’d be interested in maybe seeing the 1988 election, and, if possible, working Ross Perot into the 1992 and 1996 elections. I’m being nitpicky here, but I genuinely love this game. Really addictive.

Great but more important things

I LOVE this game it's amazing! You can go back to 1992. How about next update write the speeches like for example title of speech meaning of speech and write the full speech. It would be awesome how about also you can pick your time like another example Obama vs. McCain primary's or The finals like you play now. and you can have like republican democratic conventions thanks!
