About the game
In Campaign Trail, you're a US presidential candidate aiming to win the most electoral votes. The game blends strategy, resource management, and a bit of dirty politics—all within the rules, of course! Each turn, you play a card with actions like fundraising, traveling across the country, running ad campaigns, or holding rallies. The key is balancing your actions to maximize support in key states, because in the end, whoever has the most electoral votes wins and heads to the White House. Beyond area control and card management mechanics, each candidate has unique abilities, and debates can be game-changers. Get ready for a rollercoaster election race!
