Democracy Sausage
Ever wanted to see how the political sausage is made? This is your chance! Run a political campaign in a fictional American-style presidential election to see if your candidate will come out on top.
Completed across three zones, use action selection and dice-rolling to earn support, recruit volunteers, fundraise and get out the vote.
You can upgrade actions to unlock new abilities across: Research, Comms, Fundraising, Policy, Get out the vote and, as in every election, Oppo.
Race to place support before the polls close and unlock bonus dice and demographic support to boost your odds in specific zones. By the end of election night, winner-takes-all and a new president will be selected.
Suitable for everyone from families to political junkies, this game both teaches the mechanics of an American-style presidential campaign. Event cards count down to polls closing in each of the zones and include activities like: debate, campaign bus, endorsement, rally, campaign promise, oppo brief and party convention. When the polls close in each zone, tally up support from support placed, bonus dice and demographic boosts to determine the winner of each state. At the end of the night, the player with the most electoral votes has run the successful presidential campaign.
