Politiks

Politiks is a campaign game where you rise from community leader to world leader. You play cards to raise funds, gain voter support and sabotage a rival, while managing voter blocs and adapting to changing events and rules. Campaigns last about 5–10 minutes, and each one unlocks cards, staff and dirty tricks for later runs.

Campaigns and voters

Each campaign brings voters with different quirks, demands and emotional volatility. Managing them can earn rewards, while ignoring them harms your approval rating. You must balance competing blocs and shifting loyalties, often facing demands that are impossible to satisfy.

Voters, events, weather and your decisions reshape the board from campaign to campaign. Cards react to the situation, and the situation responds to your cards. You can read your rival’s intent, disrupt their moves and stop them before they go all-in.

Cards and carryover

Play cards to raise funds, gain support and undermine your rival, then merge cards to create stronger moves and combos. You can also collect Campaign Buttons, hire Staff Members and use Propaganda. These power-ups, along with leftover Funds, carry into your next campaign.

Campaign events

Satirical political minigames put you through debates, budgeting and speeches, with outcomes that can swing the campaign. Across runs, you unlock new perks, staff and upgrades that provide lasting bonuses and campaign tools.
