1960: Making of the President 2nd print (engl.)

Beschreibung

1960: Making of the President is a critically acclaimed two-player strategy game that simulates the U.S. presidential election of 1960. Drawing inspiration from Twilight Struggle, this card-driven game places you in the roles of Kennedy or Nixon, competing to lead the United States during the Cold War. The game captures not only the foreign policy challenges but also the social upheaval of the era. Players must navigate issues like civil rights and balance their stance on social justice with the pursuit of crucial Southern electoral votes. Economic concerns also play a significant role as each candidate tries to win over voters’ support. The campaign unfolds on an authentic 1960 electoral map, featuring states such as Louisiana and Florida with identical electoral votes, as well as California and Pennsylvania. Key historical moments—including Nixon’s lazy shave, President Eisenhower’s endorsement, and the “Catholic question”—are represented through event cards. Televised debates and the final election day push add strategic depth with dedicated subsystems. Candidates focus on winning electoral votes across four regions while building momentum by dominating important issues and controlling the airwaves. This GMT edition incorporates years of feedback, variants, and clarifications, preserving the game’s well-loved core while refining the experience.
