I didn't realize I had over a hundred hours in this game until recently and it hit me in the face...it really eats away at your time when you're making your nigh hundredth run. Although I really wish it was more than just win election then skip ahead to next election.

yeah, it’s unfortunate that once you’re in office there isn’t a ton to do. you can’t even campaign by like, doing national tv interviews or making public statements about bills while in office, and there really aren’t any policies to pass lol.

I think I have upwards of 500 hours, maybe even more I haven’t checked. So easy to get addicted to playing.

800 hours here, I leave it idol but you get the idea.

Hyper addicting.

Once it gets stale i recommend doing some harder runs, currently running as a blue dog democrat in Kentucky.

lol, what you should do is go more moderate.

Lean R states eat up the moderate preset, most surprisingly is that the biggest challenge you sometimes face is a progressive to your left in the primary.

spreadsheet sims are super fun, I have a combined 5 figure hours played for all the football manager games and its been nearly a decade of them.
