Election Train

Election Train is a multiplayer, turn-based strategy card game in which you lead a political party and compete for votes across maps based on real-world countries. Play cards to gain votes in cities, take votes from opponents and build your resource engine. Cards cost energy and resources, so you must plan your moves; controlling cities brings you closer to winning the election.

Campaign maps

The game has 10 maps: Turkey, with 81 cities; Europe, with 41 countries; the USA, with 48 states; France; Spain; the United Kingdom; Germany; Russia; China; and Korea. Each map has its own city connections and regional dynamics, creating different strategic challenges.

Political parties

Choose one of four parties, each with a passive ability:

• Faith Front — Loyal Voters: Each turn, adds 1 vote to one city in a close race within 5 votes, including a city where you are behind.
• Prosperity Party — Rich Economy: Each turn, adds 1 to one of your material types that has fallen to zero, preventing shortages.
• Iron Guard — Iron Bulwark: Vote attacks from cards are 10% weaker against you, or 5% weaker while you are the overall leader; this does not reduce disasters. In Population Mode, it shores up 3 cities each turn. In City-count Mode, it instead takes the closest contested city you do not lead and pushes it to a small lead.
• Reform Alliance — Populist Surge: Each turn, spreads votes to up to 4 cities you do not lead, favoring low-population and close races. It then secures your contested city closest to a locked lead by up to 1.5 votes.

Events and mini-games

Random disasters, including economic crises, public uprisings and scandals, disrupt each match. Every few rounds, the leading player faces a challenger in a 1v1 mini-game. Winning steals votes; losing can leave you behind. Four mini-game types are available.

Ways to win

You can play in either of two modes:

• Population Mode: Win through your total weighted vote count.
• City Count Mode: Win by controlling more than half of the cities.

• 150+ unique cards
