I love it! This is a very interesting premise. I hope that you can continue to make games like these, where you interact in a certain period of time in American history (one suggestion I have would be the civil war, or simply just another election game but with a different mechanic or premise) But I like all of your apps, so continuing these in the first place is something that I would be glad about

A great little game! Not much replayability, but the conversation system is great, and the art style and characters really reflect the woodcut style of the time.

It is only a good first time gaming experience. Many things make the player uneasy. The opponent gets many more turns to print his pamphlets. After selecting a person to interview, seldom you can ever get the person who has a balanced point of view to the constitution, adding strong points for you. And, the questions are not the ones which can bring more points to your side. Just fix these issues. The first 2 times I played it was hard to win 1. Anti-Federalists, won 8:5 2.Federalists, won 11:2
