Press Recap 2: NPR and More!

When we set out to make Political Arena, we knew there would be a lot of interest in the first truly comprehensive and authentic political sim, however we were blown away by just how much excitement there has been.
Most amazingly, we were highlighted on NPRs national flagship program, All Things Considered. You can also listen to the segment that aired. How the game unfolds from there is up to the player and of course, the voters that make up the game's simulated political world. But players don't need to be top-tier gamers or political junkies to dive right in. Now, if you want to dive in and be a sort of Machiavellian operator and be a Nancy Pelosi or Mitch McConnell, you absolutely can,[game creator Eliot Nelson] said. But if you're not familiar with politics, if you're not familiar video games, the game will very much hold your hand.
Political Arena creator Eliot Nelson appeared on Cheddar to discuss the game.
MarketWatch called us a political version of SimCity. Having politicos help craft the process does have its advantages, though. Theres a knowledge of the playbook that is sometimes used to get out of scandals. And there are plenty of those. The games artificial intelligence forces the player to deal with unexpected road blocks. For example, a political ally has said something stupid; how do you react? The game offers a realm of possibilities for someone wanting to forge a traditional path, re-run old campaigns or go completely outside-the-box.
Political Arena earned the something worthy of your attention spot in Axios highly curated gaming newsletter (not bad considering we were listed above news about Animal Crossing!).
We also nabbed a small shoutout in Playbook, Washington's most read email tips sheet.

POLITICAL ARENA is a one-of-a-kind strategy/sim about American power. Seek fame or infamy in a fully simulated political world, complete with high stakes campaign strategizing, backroom deals, scandals, special interests, and the press. Be the politician of your dreams (or nightmares).

Run a top-notch campaign by leveraging Political Arena’s real world data. Learn what issues drive your constituents to the ballot box, scrutinize the latest polls, and analyze the unique demographics of every congressional district.

Master the art of negotiation and become a Washington power broker. Navigate D.C.’s maze of special interests by analyzing the strengths, weaknesses and ambitions of your friends and enemies … even hold unfavorable information as leverage to gain concessions. Single out powerful allies -- the legislative leaders, the rising stars, the kingmakers -- and do everything you can to get on their good side.

Play the news cycle and try not to let it play you. Strategically time your actions to generate the most (or least) attention from the press.Announce your campaign, introduce legislation, and time campaign events when the media is least distracted -- or publicize compromising information when the public has its eyes elsewhere. Friday is a great time to announce that pesky IRS investigation into your spouse's finances.
