Description

Campaign Manager 2008 is a game of political strategy where two players take on the role of campaign managers for John McCain or Barack Obama, competing to win 270 electoral votes. With a unique deck of 45 Campaign Strategy cards, each player must carefully select 15 cards to use in the game, guiding their candidate to victory in 20 battleground states. The game is easy to learn, with simple rules that allow players to dive right in and start influencing voters. As players take turns playing cards or drawing new ones, they must navigate the complexities of key demographics and issues in each state, all while trying to outmaneuver their opponent. With the ability to go "negative" and force their opponent to roll a die, players must be strategic and adaptable to win. The game is over when one player reaches 270 electoral votes, making for a thrilling and unpredictable experience that's perfect for fans of politics and strategy.
