ABSTRACT:
An educational and recreational game and method of playing thereof emulates the presidential election process in the U.S.A. Each of the 51 voting jurisdictions is assigned a representative number of electoral votes. Voting for each state follows an ordered path starting in Maine and following a serpentine path through and including 48 additional states and the District of Columbia and concluding in California. Each player or team of players, representing a major political party, Democratic, Republican, Independent, rolls a dice having faces marked with differing percentages of the popular vote to determine a win or loss of the popular and electoral votes for each state. Play continues until one team amasses at least 270 electoral votes necessary to win the election and place its candidate in the White House.
