Working The Margins, a Presidential Campaign You Can Actually Run
A free browser election strategy game where players build parties, choose platforms, work an Electoral College map, and watch a simulated Election Night count.
Field notes
The simulation saves one campaign to the current device and browser, while clearing browser storage removes that save. Its scenarios adapt historical elections to two sides and use modern map outlines, so the historical material functions as a structured game setting rather than a literal recreation. Players can inspect individual state results and popular-vote totals during a gradual count, and the page points to source notes for the historical scenarios.
