Short answers to the questions we hear most. If you do not find yours, we are one email away. Lex will point you in the right direction.
Do I need to know fantasy sports?
Not at all. If you have never played fantasy anything, you are in the right place. The How to Play guide walks through the whole game in a couple of minutes.
How do my legislators score points?
They earn points for real activity in Congress: casting votes, introducing and cosponsoring bills, and moving legislation forward. The How Scoring Works guide lists every way points are earned.
Is the game non-partisan?
Yes. Points reward what a member does, never their party or their position on an issue. The Is This Partisan guide explains exactly why.
Can I use it with a class?
Fantasy Government is built for individual players. For classroom lessons, see congressclassroom.com, which is free for classes.
When do scores update?
Scores follow real congressional activity, so they move when Congress is in session and go quiet during recess. The Congressional Calendar guide explains the rhythm.
How much does it cost?
Current plans and prices are on the Pricing page. The Free plan is free forever, so you can create an account and start playing without paying anything.
