Description

The Art of Election It's Your Age Game From Instructions. "The game is intended for children from 8-80. We have designed it to be both reflective and representative of electionary politics as they operate today. Each facet has a relevance and significance to the "real" game itself, and our only alteration is to have injected a sorely lacking sense of humour. Enjoy and be entertained." As from the blurb this is a game of politics set in Australia with players attempting to win the election by securing a majority in the House. The Board is a large circle with a series of concentric circles within representing different city & county constituencies. At the center is a grid representing the House, with a Hereditary Seat space at the center of this. Players roll die to gain a number of move points used to move vote blocks around the board in an attempt to gain control of seats. Players can also pick up "Contingency & Complication" cards to add some variety to the game.
