Currently under construction, the purpose of this thread will be to gather info on all the US-based election games this forum has seen so far (and there's a lot of them).
For the time being, here's a general idea of what games have we seen through the years:
US Presidential Elections:
Old Elections:
1788-1820: As far as I know, never roleplayed. 1824-1832: Covered by Spamage's Chain of Elections 1836-1944: As far as I know, never roleplayed.
Modern Elections:
1948: Unfinished game shortly ago. 1952-1964: Not roleplayed. 1968: Unifinished attempt. 1972: A couple of short-lived games in the past, then Fear and Loathing (which stopped short of the GE) 1976: Not roleplayed. 1980: Unfinished attempt. 1984-1988: Not roleplayed. 1992: Roleplayed a couple of times. Scott's excellent The 92' Vote almost got to the GE. 1996: Not roleplayed.
Recent Elections:
2000: Roleplayed a few times, NHI's 2000 Election Game was successfully finished (Quayle defeats Daschle). 2004: Roleplayed a few times, with NHI's 2004 Presidential Election and Beyond successfully finishing with a Giuliani victory and continuing on to 2008. 2008: Extensively roleplayed through the years. To my knowledge the sole one to finish was Spamage's epic 2008 Election Game (my first game), in which Bloomberg defeated McCain and Dean. 2012: Extensively roleplayed through the years. Noteworthy mention to Tmthforu94's version some years ago, in which Ayotte/Christie defeated Obama/Clinton. 2016: Extensively roleplayed through the years. 2020: Extensively roleplayed, DatGOTTho's remarkable The Great 2020 Free-For-All completed the GE, Sherrod Brown defeating Phil Scott.
