Product Description
Theme : 1960: The Making of a President is a true political game based around what could be the most important election for the USA in the 20th century – John. F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon. In this astoundingly well received game, players take on the roles of either protagonist, vying for election as the President of the United States of America.
Gameplay: In 1960 : the Making of a President, the electorial contest of the 1960's between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon is occuring.
Players take on the role of the two party leaders and the game is fought out on an electoral map of the United States as it stood in 1960. This dictates a few changes int he commonly known electoral map where Louisiana and Florida share the same number of electoral votes, as do California and Pennsylvania.
1960: the Making of a President uses a card-driven game system where all the major events which shaped the campaign are represented: Nixon’s lazy shave, President Eisenhower’s late endorsement, and the 'Catholic question' are all included as specific event cards.
The famous televised debates and final election day push are each handled with their own subsystems. Candidates vie to capture each state’s electoral votes using campaign points in the four different regions of the country in 1960. At the same time, they must build momentum by dominating the issues of the day and attempt to gain control of the airwaves.
As with any election campaign, in 1960 : The Making of A President the challenge is to adapt your game plan as the ground shifts out from under you. There are never enough resources or time to do everything, but you need to make the tough calls to propel yourself into the White House. This fast-playing strategy game for two players challenges you to run for the most powerful elective office in the world, at one of its most unique crossroads. Will you recreate history, or rewrite it? 1960: The Making of the President provides you the opportunity to do both.
