Electoral Dominance is an election strategy game with a simple premise. Pick a country, pick an office, and try to win it. There are 197 countries in here and 587 offices between them. You can run for a city council seat, a provincial governorship, or the top job, and the maps and numbers underneath are the real ones. The British Commons has 650 seats. Thailand's House has 500. The American electoral college has 538 votes and you need 270 of them. The boundaries you see are the actual administrative boundaries, and the population on each district is the population that lives there. THE POLLS ARE NOT THE RESULT The map shows you what the pollsters believe. Election night counts what people actually did, and the gap between those two things is the game. Polls arrive late, carry noise, and come from outlets that lean one way or the other. A district nobody has bothered to poll can still decide the race. YOUR WEEK You get a handful of actions and whatever is in the war chest. Hold a rally and roll the dice on it. Buy advertising, if there is any left, because airtime is a finite market and the other campaign shops early. Build a ground game, which pays you a little every week and turns people out on the night. Raise money in a room full of donors who all want something in return. Debate nights run over several rounds, with preparation you draft beforehand. Sit-down interviews branch on what you just said, and the host has read the same opposition research everyone else has. THE PARTS NOBODY PUTS IN A BROCHURE Every candidate has a past, including yours. You can dig through theirs and choose the week it lands. You can bury your own paper trail, or defuse a story by telling it yourself on a quiet Friday. You can invent one outright and race the fact-checkers to Election Day, and if they catch it the backlash is yours. When something lands on you, the week stops until you answer it. There is a back room as well. Ward bosses who deliver turnout and expect a favour, envelopes that arrive with conditions attached, and a heat level that decides whether anybody starts asking questions. NOT EVERY COUNTRY COUNTS FAIRLY Some races carry a warning before you file. The count leans toward whoever is already in power, the press answers to a ministry, and a provocation can end with a permit withdrawn, a raid, or a visit. There is always a way to win those races. It is rarely a comfortable one. A CAREER, NOT A CAMPAIGN Career mode keeps you as one politician in one country. Name recognition, your record and your money follow you from race to race. Nobody starts at the top, and losing miserably still builds a name. WHAT IS IN IT 197 countries and 587 offices, on real maps with real populations A polling engine that hides the truth and reports it badly, on purpose Opposition research, timing, inoculation and counter-attacks Fabricated stories that can be debunked, with consequences when they are Multi-round debates and branching interviews Staff you hire, negotiate wages with, and have to keep paying Election night with poll closings, calls, upsets and a tipping point Game Center leaderboards and achievements, if you want them No account to make, nothing to log into, and it plays offline Every candidate in the game is invented. The machinery around them is real.

Deep Dig is an idle mining game built around one addictive question: will THIS tap be the big one? TAP TO DIG Smash through rock with every tap. Land a critical hit and a lamp lights up — one more tap, and you break into a high-odds chain zone where crits can keep coming, tap after tap after tap. UPGRADE YOUR RIG Pour coins into Drill Power and Auto-Driller to dig faster, even while you are away. CORE UPGRADES + NEW GAME+ Reach the planet's core and earn permanent Cores, then start a fresh run with your upgrades carried over. Stack enough Cores across runs and your rig only gets stronger. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE Fully translated into English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, and Korean. This release covers Stage 1 — dig from the surface all the way down to 500m. Deeper stages, new ore, and more content are already in the works. Free to play, no purchase required. Optional video ads offer bonuses like stamina refills and coin boosts, entirely up to you. Start tapping. See how deep you can go.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Deep Dig at none against Electoral Dominance's 1. Deep Dig also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
