Phase 5 · The Primary
Week 1 of 5
The district is five territories, base to base, with Bear Gulch the seam that decides it. Three moves each week. Watch the map move.
Two ways to run the race for the 6th District — the same candidates, the same map, two different games.
Everyone runs a rival campaign in the same Democratic primary. The field is as big as the room.
Each player drafts a candidate. Tap to lean toward one, then lock in — you can change until you commit. Watch the lanes: being the only one in a lane means you own that base while the crowded side splits theirs. The seam — Bear Gulch — belongs to whoever fights for it.
Every candidate is privately setting where they stand on the three live issues. Positions stay hidden until the convention floor. Running against your candidate's nature costs authenticity.
Each campaign courts the district's organized groups and raises money before the convention. Groups are contested — if two candidates chase the same endorsement, the stronger fit wins it.
This is an endorsing convention, run on the real Minnesota DFL rules. It is not a simple majority vote. Read the room.
Before the first ballot, each candidate answers one question on their phone: will you suspend your campaign if someone else is endorsed?
