A Campaign HQ competition · 3–6 players, one room

Who's Your Mayor?

A mayor's seat is up for grabs — the suburb of Apple Valley, the mountain town of Juniper, or the river city of Fremont. You run the campaigns.

A serious race for mayor, played in the room. One screen for everyone, a phone for each manager. Five weeks, six neighborhoods, most votes wins. Closer to poker night than game night — every result is earned, and the better strategist takes the seat.

Gather 3–6 friends. One device shows the big screen; everyone else plays on their phone.

The field — who you might run

Twelve candidates. You're dealt a short list and pick who to run — then you're stuck with them for five weeks.

How a night works

01 · SET UP

Gather the room

Open the host screen on a TV or laptop. Everyone joins on their phones with the room code. Three to six managers.

02 · THE RACE

Five weeks

Draft your candidate, court the unions and the paper, then campaign week by week — doors, ads, fundraising, and the occasional knife. Mid-race, everyone faces the same hard question at the Forum.

03 · THE COUNT

Election night

Make your closing push, then the votes pour in neighborhood by neighborhood. Most votes citywide wins. ~30–40 minutes.

What kind of game this is

Pure skill. No dice, no trivia, no event cards — every result traces back to a decision you made.
Real strategy. Read the map, read the room, and outmaneuver the people sitting next to you.
Momentum is real. A sharp week can break the race open; get caught flat-footed and you'll feel it.
Hidden information. Scout your rivals. Some neighborhoods start unpolled — intelligence is an edge.
Plain language. If you've ever watched a campaign, you already know how to play.
Every candidate is a character. They have voices, edges, and weaknesses to exploit.

Five weeks. Six neighborhoods. The best campaign wins.
