Games like 270 | Two Seventy US Election

The Squirrel's verdictA full campaign-to-governance simulator with detailed legislation, budgeting, and multi-level office-holding sets The Political Process apart from 270's board-game abstraction and roster-gated structure. One $14.99 price covers everything. With a median playtime near 127 hours and an Overwhelmingly Positive rating, it suits players who want sustained political depth rather than quick territory matches.

Not for you if you want condensed, fast-play matches rather than a detailed multi-stage simulator spanning campaigning through governing.

The Squirrel's verdictThe Political Machine 2020 covers the same state-by-state resource allocation and candidate stat loop as 270, with all candidates included at one price and no per-character purchases. Reviewers flag that it dropped features present in earlier entries in the series — specifically the single-player campaign against escalating opponents — and median playtime runs around 10.2 hours across its shorter individual matches.

Not for you if you want debates, primaries, third-party candidates, or a structured single-player campaign mode, all of which reviewers say are absent.

The Squirrel's verdictBoth simulate political strategy with parties and ideologies competing for power. Lawgivers trades 270's territory-grabbing campaign map for parliamentary lawmaking: passing legislation, managing budgets, and winning elections tied to your record. One flat $6.99 price, no per-candidate purchases. For players who wanted 270's political framing without the microtransaction structure.

Not for you if you want the map-conquest campaign mechanic itself rather than parliamentary law-passing and budget management.

The Squirrel's verdictEvil Democracy: 1932 sets its campaign in 1930s Germany, built around hiring journalists, publishing stories every few turns, and picking dogma tradeoffs rather than moving across a regional map. The core loop is narrow: reviewers consistently describe it as repetitive and shallow after a few hours, with limited actions per turn. Priced at $11.99 as a one-time purchase.

Not for you if you want more than a handful of repeating actions per turn or expect meaningful replayability beyond a few hours.

The Squirrel's verdictLawgivers II centers on legislative simulation — managing party seats, action points, and bill-passing across national and sub-national governing bodies — rather than a campaign map. Median playtime is around 26 hours, but reviewers report frequent bugs, some game-breaking, and describe tracking multiple legislative bodies simultaneously as a steep learning curve. Priced at $24.99.

Not for you if you want a stable, polished experience or prefer a campaign-map structure over multi-body legislative management with a reported high bug frequency.
