    Has anyone played this? It's a political game and, at least I think, it can be multiplayer. It allows the player to take over the campaign of a candidate and run through the primaries and then the general election.

    I just ran through it and had a really, really interesting run. Ran as Rand Paul, winning IA and NH, but ended up winning only a small plurality of delegates. In the GOP primaries there are 2470 delegates, and 1236 is needed for a majority. At the end of it, Paul led with 797, Trump 2nd with 554, Rubio 3rd with 396, Jindal 4th at 227. Paul led, with only 32% of delegates, forcing convention run off.

    At the convention, this is the first step that happened

    But ultimately Paul won. Then I got to choose a VP, and I chose Joni Ernst (tons of respect for her as a fellow Iraq veteran).

    I've played this game a few times as different candidates and find it to be really fun. Some of the functions I don't think are realistic, but all in all I think the game mechanics fairly well represents how the campaigns work. It's by far the best political sim I've ever seen, and I'd recommend it.

    Has anyone else played it? Normally I'd figure this is a stab in the dark but, on this website... I figure someone might :D
