"Do you have what it takes to become president? In this realistic and fascinating game, two players or teams will battle it out to become the next president of the United States. With four players, one player can be running for President and the other can be Vice President on each team. One player or team will represent the Republicans, the other will be the Democrats. The board depicts a colorful outline map of the United States; each state is labeled with the number of electoral votes it is worth. To start the game, players/teams decide how many "weeks" they have to work with before the election, and that determines how many turns they take. Each team receives 150 vote chips and 3 dice. On each turn, a player/team can either go campaigning or fundraising, which will result in them gaining votes and therefore a majority in different states. Politics cards may help or hurt a team. States can swing often, so teams need to pay close attention to where they stand to get to the required 270 votes they need to win. A scorepad is included to track the number of votes each team currently controls. Exciting and competitive, this game will also help aid in the understanding of our country's election process."--rainbowresource.com.
