📖 About This Game

OVERVIEW: This is an election theme board game, but make no mistake about it. This isn't a political game. It is a territorial game where opponents fight for majority of votes on the states, and win General Elections. There is a luck component that is easily tamed with plenty of strategies. Strategies get pretty sophisticated as players develop their skills overtime. In a way it resembles a weird mix of poker and chess without following any of their rules. In other words, it is not a twisted version of either. The goal of the game is to win majority in the states, thereby winning Super PACs to fund your campaigns, and ultimately win 3 General Elections. AUDIENCE: Simple enough for casual players and advanced for professional gamers. UNIQUE: This game is played continuously. After every game, you can save the setup with its unique challenges for the next time you play. Simply snap a picture of the board. Probably, this is the only "competitive" game where really it is almost impossible to eliminate an opponent from the game (no player elimination). IMPORTANT..! Manufacturer strongly recommends you limit a game to 3 General Elections wins rather than 5 as stated in the rules, for a better game experience.
