Political Games Forever

PoliticsUnder30.org has a detailed review of our Congress game, Congress Forever 2010, here.

Some key quotes:

“C4E is more than just a well-crafted strategy game; it is also a powerful tool for understanding the 2010 midterm elections. [...]”

“I would highly recommend the game [...] to anyone interested in learning about election politics and becoming more politically active and aware.”

“C4E makes following the congressional elections a lot of fun and translates campaign politics’ dreary details into a relevant format I can easily understand. Moreover, the whole PU30 crew are quite delighted with C4E, and it’s doubtless only our unfailing professionalism that prevents us from playing C4E at all hours of the day. [...]“

We are now working on Prime Minister Forever – Australia 2010, to be released late summer or early fall of 2010. We will be releasing details in the weeks to come.

The Australian election will probably occur in 2010, but it depends on the politics in Australia, and in particular on Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s calculations as to when would be best (for the Labor party) to have an election.

The Senate 2010 scenario is now in Congress Forever 2010, our election game. Congress Forever is now a simulation for both the U.S. House and the Senate.

Congress Forever contains all 435 seats for the 2010 House, and now all 36 seats for the 2010 Senate, including Charlie Crist’s independent bid in Florida.

Will Rand Paul win in Kentucky? Will Harry Reid be deposed in Nevada? Will the Republicans gain a majority, or the Democrats gain a super-majority? You can experiment with all the possibilities in the game.
