Think you have what it takes to win the White House? 270 | Two Seventy is a political strategy game where every decision matters. Choose your candidate, build your campaign, and battle across the electoral map to secure the 270 Electoral Votes needed to become President of the United States. Winning isn't just about taking the biggest states. Every state has its own campaign cost, Electoral Votes, and strategic value. Spend your resources wisely, build momentum in the right places, and outmaneuver your opponents on your path to victory. BUILD YOUR PATH TO 270 There's no single road to the White House. Fight for battleground states, dominate key regions, or build an unexpected coalition your opponent never saw coming. Every election presents a new strategic challenge. CHOOSE YOUR CANDIDATE Take control of a huge roster of political figures from across American history and today's political landscape. Create dream matchups, replay political rivalries, and discover how different candidates can change your strategy. WIN OVER KEY VOTING GROUPS States are only part of the battle. Compete for powerful Geographic and National Groups that reward campaigns built around a smart nationwide strategy. Where you invest can be just as important as how much you spend. TAKE ON THE AI Build your campaign against computer-controlled opponents in single-player elections. Experiment with different candidates and strategies, sharpen your skills, and find new paths to 270 at your own pace. CHALLENGE OTHER PLAYERS Think you've mastered the electoral map?

PLAY BEYOND THE GENERAL ELECTION Take the campaign in a different direction with Democratic and Republican Primary elections, or compete in special in-app Tournaments where players battle for a place at the top of the leaderboard. Replay famous political matchups, create elections that never happened, or see if your favorite candidate has what it takes to reach 270. Every state matters. Every dollar counts.

About

Zero

Features
Read full description

Zero-Sum is a complex macro-economics card game for multiple players. Each player runs a country and sets financial priorities, which are then played out on a global stage with or against the other players. A valid macro-economics model underpins the game, driven by the card choices of the players. Players can also alter the economic model to suit their beliefs or preferences. Players can choose to go for a competitive win (financial trade balance), or a “Economic Fairness” win (those in power are responsible for providing opportunity for those less fortunate — low unemployment and low wealth gap), or an “Industry” win, or a “Standard of Living” win (low cost of living with high consumer spend). Is it possible to achieve more than one? Play to win or play cooperatively to see how long you can keep every country solvent.
