Political Punching Bag
80s arcade boxing where every side takes a punch. Pick a fighter and go toe-to-toe with political heavyweights from both parties. Everybody gets hit.
The game
Choose from nine fighters, from Hill Staffer and NPR Grandma to MAGA Hat, Podcast Bro, Tradwife, and more. Six opponents, among them Very Stable Genius, HRC, Sleepy Joe, Vlad and 44, each come with their own lines, moves, and tells.
Fight a seven-bout tournament, take single fights, or unload in Punching Bag mode, where the opponent stands still. Every knockout can be shared as an image, a 9:16 video clip, or a challenge link that dares a friend to beat your fastest KO.
