About the game
What you do in a play session
Poll & Write Clacton: The Binface By-election is a strategic area control game based on the real-life 2026 UK by-election. You take on the role of eccentric candidates (like Count Binface or Nigel Farage) and compete for votes using a clever dice drafting and area control system. Each turn, you choose from three dice to claim voters and activate special powers. The game features a unique twist: a 'countdown to bin day' tracker that progresses as dice are placed in the shared space. The player with the most votes when time runs out wins! It blends political satire with roll-and-write mechanics, perfect for fans of quick, personality-packed games.
