About Us

Between 2016 and 2018, the creators behind this game, bonded by their shared hobby of board games, started working on a video series reviewing and explaining games. As their discussions often veered into politics and philosophy, an idea sparked: what if they created a board game about politics?

The motivator of the group pushed to turn this idea into reality. With one member focusing on how real political campaigns functioned and another expert in board game mechanics, they began collaborating. One focused on the political aspects, while the other translated that into engaging gameplay.

They initially aimed to create a game that closely mirrored a political campaign but found it didn’t fit the style they wanted. Drawing inspiration from other group effort and deception games, they decided to focus on a game that could be enjoyed in a large, social setting.

The team crafted basic cards and a game board to create a prototype using office supplies. After several playtests, they realized they had something solid. However, the complexity of finalizing the design and the time commitment required caused the project to stall.

Years later, inspired by the recent election cycle, the idea was revived. Encouraged by their continued love for board games and politics, the team decided to bring the game back to life. Now, with the game in full production, they’re excited to see where this journey will take them.

The Election Day team can’t wait to see how you’ll handle the campaign trail and make your mark.
