About 195-0

A run takes five appointments. In each round, the game gives you a category, a country, and a group of candidates. Pick one person, put them in an open cabinet role, and make the next choice.

After the fifth pick, the simulation turns your choices into a score between 0 and 195. Role fit does most of the work. Category bonuses, country variety, penalties, and a little randomness also count.

The game is fictional and meant for entertainment. It is not a political simulation, a forecast, or a measure of how anyone would govern.

A good match between a candidate and their role raises the score. Some category and role combinations get extra points, while a few bad fits receive penalties. A cabinet that represents several countries can also earn a small bonus.

The full rules are available if you want to check a result. Read the How to Play guide for the complete formula, respin rules, daily reset behavior, and leaderboard details. The Cabinet Roles referencecontains the role weights and penalties.

The candidate pool includes real people, public figures, professions, and countries. They give the draft recognizable names to work with.

The categories, role ratings, descriptions, scores, and outcomes belong to the game. They do not describe anyone's real abilities, beliefs, character, or political views. 195-0 has no affiliation with the people, governments, or organizations shown here.

195-0 is an independent web project. The candidate list, scoring rules, and daily puzzles may change as the game is maintained. The rules pages explain the parts of the game that matter when you play.
