Answer every crisis like a politician — each stance pays in cash, clout, media or trust. Then spend it capturing wards before counting day. Hold your ideology and it compounds; sell it and the cash lands today. Most wards wins the chair.
Every round a crisis lands — a road that was never built, twelve-hour power cuts, one budget line and both a stadium and a hospital — and you pick your stance in secret. Each stance pays in different campaign currency: funds, clout, media or trust. Hold one ideology and the payout compounds; U-turn and the cash lands today but the trust doesn't come back.
Then you spend it on the ground: work a ward to pile up votes, or run a smear cycle, a sting operation or some old-fashioned horse-trading. Whoever leads a ward controls it, and most wards on counting day takes the chair — with ties broken by the biggest connected bloc, so sprawl and consolidation are different bets.

No. Every ward, party and crisis is invented. It's about the mechanics of campaigning — money, message and machine — not any real party, politician or community.
How long does a game take?
About 20 minutes for the six-round campaign, or longer if you pick the eight-round Long Campaign.
How many players does Kursi support?
Kursi plays with 3 to 8 players. Everyone joins from their own phone or laptop browser with a 4-letter room code.
Do I need to download an app or own a console?
No — it runs entirely in the browser. The host starts a room on aipartygames.com, players open the link, and the AI hosts the game.
