📖 About This Game
Roll and (re)write the 2019 UK general election in the tense electoral strategy game for British politicos. A truly competitive roll & write – NOT your usual multiplayer solitaire!
Pick from six political parties contesting the 2019 general election with the aim of winning a majority of the battleground constituencies to enter government. The three 'main' parties (Labour, Conservative, and Liberal Democrats) aim to win a majority or failing that become a coalition, while the three minor' parties (Scottish National, Green, and Brexit Parties) are intensely thematic asymmetric factions with their own win condition.
Each turn the leading player rolls two dice. All players write these numbers on their party sheets, selecting leaders, hammering home slogans, and completing and promoting policies. Completed sections of the party sheet allow players to claim voters in battleground constituencies, until one party wins a plurality of voters in each constituency. Winning a majority of constituencies means you enter government and win the game. Available in 2024 as a print at home game – approx. 1 A4 sheet per player, plus 2 pages of rules. Grab a pair of dice and pencils, and the game is on!
