Run the 2008 McCain or Obama campaign as a two-player card duel over swing states and key issues.
Campaign Manager 2008 puts you in charge of the 2008 US presidential campaign for either John McCain or Barack Obama. Each player builds a unique deck representing advice to their candidate, then fights to sway voters in the swing states and win over key voter groups. You also try to define the key issue in each state: will national security dominate, or will fears about the economy take over? It is a card-driven duel with dice, drafting and area control, and the winner finds the road to the White House. A 2008 game for two, about forty-five minutes, for politics fans who like seeing real campaign dynamics boiled into cards.
Who it's for
You like politics and want a tight duel for two that models a real election.
Not for you ifβ¦
You want a neutral setting or a game for more than two players.
Vibe's take
Brisk and tactical, with the pull of real news. You are always deciding which state to push and which issue to own, and your own deck keeps shaping the race.
