Welcome to Lawmaker

Lawmaker is a multiplayer political simulation game where you take on the role of a political party in a fictional democratic country. Build your party, propose legislation, win elections, and shape the future of your nation.

What is Lawmaker?

Lawmaker combines elements of strategy, simulation, and social gameplay to create a unique political experience. You'll:

  • Build political parties with distinct ideologies and values
  • Propose and vote on legislation to shape your country's laws
  • Compete in elections against other players
  • Recruit activists to represent your party
  • Form governments and appoint cabinet ministers
  • Negotiate with other parties to build coalitions and pass laws
  • Build international blocs for cross-country coordination

Why Play Lawmaker?

  • Strategic Depth: Every vote shapes your party's record and affects how voters perceive you
  • Realistic Simulation: Individual voters make decisions based on their values and your voting record - there are thousands of individually modelled voters with backstories, preferences, goals and prejudices
  • Long-term Planning: Build a legislative legacy over multiple election cycles
  • Social Gameplay: Negotiate, form alliances, and compete with other players
  • Multiple Countries: Each country is an independent simulation with unique characteristics

Game Time

Game Time vs Real Time

In Lawmaker, 1 real-world hour = 1 game day. This means you don't need to play constantly - you can check in periodically to vote on proposals, make strategic decisions, and manage your party at your own pace.
