Pretty fun and educational

As a kid who is WAY too in to politics, I can say that not only is this educational but also very fun. However, I think there should be a few changes. For starters, there should be more parties than just republican and democratic, it would give the players more creativity with there characters, next, I’ve noticed that the opponents are only girls. I’m not saying anything is wrong with that but think you should have more opponents. Next, you should have the priorities of each state change, as time goes on, the view of a state can change politically, and I think that should be true with this game.
Finally, you should be able to play as previous candidates and play in previous elections, it would give the players a chance to rewrite history their own way. But other than that this is a great game and would recommend it to anyone.

Icivics can y’all make a new political game

Hi icivics I love the political competition on win the White House but there’s 2 other areas that American politics focuses on can y’all create a map where the game chooses a random state and we are assigned a portion of that state like how senate races work and depending on how good or bad we challenged that our game chosen political opposition the senate map shapes territory in all 50 states based on our political battle and all 50 states chose their governors in the state wide election I propose that can be a second game and the same rules apply we compete in a chosen state and we campaign as governor of that state depending on how good or bad we challenged our game chosen political opposition the governor map shapes territory in all 50 states based on our political battle I think both my senate and governor political competition games will be a great addition for people around the world to expirence the full American political arena thanks for reading this long proposition and I believe icivics can make it happen and make it great

Great Game Few Suggestions

Found this game from a few people on discord and decided to get it and it’s really fun, but I have a few suggestions.
-Maybe make it that the president candidate you go up against isn’t the opposite gender every single time.
-Also maybe add more ways to persuade the states. Maybe that costs 4 dollars and gives 3 momentum for that state, but can only be used once a game, so people have to use it wisely.
-Maybe make other parties as well, like independent parties, Libertarian Parties, and Green Parties. -I also would like a presidential debate. -Also maybe make customizable vans for when you proceed to the next week. -Another suggestion : Gamemodes! Maybe a Multiplayer Version and Hand & Play version (where you make your turn and give it to your friend who is the other candidate) -Also difficulties: Easy Normal Medium and Hard Mode. -Another suggestion is a game mode where you can run for senate and run for the state of your choice! Even if this can’t be added to the game please make it another game (if it already exists please tell me which.)
-Final Suggestion:
I know the game is based off the White House, but maybe you could make it for more countries like France and Germany and England and more (Since some English people like other countries there could be English dubs still). That’s all for my suggestions!

Thanks!
