Political Machine 2016 v1.31 Released

The last few weeks in the political world have been crazy. Based on the recent debates and real-life events, we've decided to update the game's issues and introduced a new debate-themed random event. Read below for details!

Change Log

Issues Updates:

  • Increased the importance of "Probing Hillary's emails." This remains one of the greatest weak spots in Hillary's campaign. 
  • Increased raised the importance of "Tax cuts" as there is increasing pressure for Trump to release his tax returns. 
  • Slightly reduced the importance of "Fighting ISIS"
  • Slightly reduced the importance of "Securing the Borders." 
  • Both of these latter two issues are still important to many voters. However, as other issues have been consuming more time, there has been less focus on them.

    New random event "Debate Disaster"

    • Your debate performance has led to some uncomfortable gaffes related to taxes and led to speculations on whether you were under the influence. 
    • Reduces your credibility, increase the importance of "War on Drugs" and "Tax Cuts."
