Four camps, zero consensus
Each camp has its six figures, its catchphrases, its own way of playing and a campaign trump card to fire at the right moment.
The Centre
Neither left nor right. Or both.
Figures : François Bayrou, Gabriel Attal, Édouard Philippe, Bruno Le Maire, Élisabeth Borne, Emmanuel Macron.
Campaign trump card Dissolution Back to the voters: opponents restart from the gate… and your endorsement chest drops to zero.
The Right
Plenty of chiefs for a single chair.
Figures : Nicolas Sarkozy, Jordan Bardella, Éric Ciotti, Bruno Retailleau, Éric Zemmour, Marine Le Pen.
Campaign trump card Trocadéro Rally For 9 seconds your whole camp speaks twice as fast.
The Others
Nobody expected them. They came anyway.
Figures : Brigitte Macron, Dominique de Villepin, Jean Lassalle, Marine Tondelier, Philippe Poutou, Teddy Riner.
Campaign trump card No-Confidence Vote The three toughest opponents are toppled on the spot. Heavyweights lose half their credibility.

Frequently asked questions
What is Politique 2027?
A free lane-defense (tower defense) game that runs in your browser and parodies the race for the 2027 French presidential election. You pick the Left, the Centre, the Right or the Others, then place caricatures of public figures to push back the three other camps.
Is the game free?
Yes: free, with no sign-up, no ads and no in-app purchases. The source code is open, under the MIT licence.
Does the game take sides?
No. It is satire: every camp gets the same treatment and all four are playable. The game is not affiliated with any party, candidate or institution, and is neither a poll nor a call to vote.
Which characters can you play?
Twenty-four figures across four camps. Left: Raphaël Glucksmann, François Hollande, Fabien Roussel, Ségolène Royal, François Ruffin and Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Centre: François Bayrou, Gabriel Attal, Édouard Philippe, Bruno Le Maire, Élisabeth Borne and Emmanuel Macron. Right: Nicolas Sarkozy, Jordan Bardella, Éric Ciotti, Bruno Retailleau, Éric Zemmour and Marine Le Pen. The Others: Brigitte Macron, Dominique de Villepin, Jean Lassalle, Marine Tondelier, Philippe Poutou and Teddy Riner. Add two reinforcements shared by everyone, riot police and firefighters, and four guests: Donald Trump at the international summit, HugoDécrypte on the debate set, Squeezie in the street and Sylvain Durif on the hunt for endorsements.
Does the game follow the news?
In its own way. School blockades, burning bins, petrol above €2 a litre, farmers and tractors, taxes withheld at source, family-benefit transfers, CAC 40 bosses, tariffs: these events show up as generic twists in the game, without targeting any place, date or person in particular.
Are the catchphrases real quotes?
Some are: "Poudre de perlimpinpin", "La République, c'est moi !", "Ils sont là, dans les campagnes…" or "Moi président" are public lines that became cult classics in France. The others are made up in the spirit of the character. None is offered as a documentary quotation.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, on phones and tablets as well as on desktop. On a phone the match is played in landscape, fullscreen where the browser allows it: if you hold the phone upright, the game is drawn sideways so that you turn it. This can be switched off in the pause menu. A recent browser is all you need; there is nothing to install.
Can you play with a keyboard or a screen reader?
Yes. Every action goes through real buttons: keys 1 to 8 to pick a figure, arrows to aim, Enter to place. Match events are announced to screen readers and animations respect the "reduce motion" setting.
Is my data collected?
No. No account, no cookie, no tracker, no analytics. Your progress stays in your browser (local storage) and is never sent anywhere.
Who made this game?
Maxence Bonnici, a full-stack developer. Politique 2027 is a personal, open-source project.
Satire, not a manifesto
The characters are caricatures of public figures. Their powers and the situations are made up for laughs: they do not describe facts and do not reflect the author's opinions. The game has no link with any party, candidate or institution.
The steps will not defend themselves
A match lasts three to seven minutes. The first one is the easiest.
