ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an educational game for two or more players which is designed to both entertain and educate the players regarding the electoral process of the president of the United States. The game has a game board depicting the map of the United States with the states and the electoral votes assigned to that state indicated on the map. Furthermore, the map is divided into a plurality of different regions wherein each region includes a plurality of contiguous states. A game piece is associated with each player which the player moves between states in dependence on the outcome of a chance device, such as a roll of dice. Upon landing on a given space, the player, by correctly answering a governmental question from a question card, is assigned that number of electoral votes for that particular state. The first player to accumulate more than one-half of the electoral votes and thereafter return to Washington, D.C. and correctly answers a final question, wins the game. In addition, the winning player must accumulate at least one electoral vote from each region of the United States.
