Electoral College Game

Your mission is to out-campaign your opponent, who is competing against you to be President.

Imagine that there are seven competitive states in the NOTUSISTAN Electoral College used for its presidential elections, operating under the same winner-take-all, weighted voting rules as in the US Electoral College.

Each player has $100 to spend across the seven states, in increments of $1. By directing resources to states, you get a competitive advantage. The initial vote share for each state is 50%. For every $1 additional spent in a state, you gain +1% vote share; for every $1 spent by your opponent, you lose 1%. Whoever spends the most in a state wins its electoral votes.

For example, State has electoral votes. If you allocate $ and your opponent allocated $, you win all of State 's EC votes. If instead you allocated $ to State , your opponent would win EC votes by allocating anything between $ and $100.

The seven states have electors shown in the second column. There are 139 EC votes in total; 70 are needed to win.

Ties in each state are decided by coin toss. You may allocate nothing to a state or the full $100 to one state.

You compete against one other person, randomly selected from our database of loading…. You win only if you exceed 70 EC votes.
