About the Game

A U.S. presidential election game. Players move from state to state. Each turn a player draws 2 of 3 possible cards: campaigning, fundraising, or dirty tricks. Campaigning gives you votes in your current state. Fundraising give you money which can be spent secretly. Dirty tricks allow you to hurt your opponents, but they sometimes backfire.
