ABSTRACT:
The game disclosed has a board showing a voting area marked House of Representatives, a voting area marked Senate, a vice-president's voting booth located inside the Senate, and a president's voting booth located between and separate from the House of Representatives and the Senate. Inside both the House of Representatives and the Senate voting areas are eight industry voting booths where players (representing industries) try to accumulate more and more voting chips. An area numbered 2 thru 12 on the game board specifies what is done when each player's turn comes and two regular dice are rolled as a means of chance. Election cards allow players to win voting chips in the House of Representatives, the Senate, the vice-presidency, and the presidency. Politics cards give players a variety of political advantages. Legislation cards target different game industries (players) for potential financial gains or losses, dependent upon votes taken in Congress. A changeable colored die determines which players win election votes and which industries (players) are targeted for financial gains or losses. Players begin the game with a designated sum of game money and try to remain financially solvent. Bankrupt players are eliminated from the game.
