Description

Get ready to dive into the world of politics with Candidate, a game where you'll navigate the ups and downs of a presidential campaign. Published in 1991 by renowned game designer Richard Winter, this game is easy to learn but challenging to master. With 2 to 6 players competing, you'll need to manage your resources carefully and make strategic decisions to win over the voters. As you travel across the country, you'll need to balance your campaign efforts with the ever-changing landscape of current events. With a playtime of 90 minutes, the game moves quickly, simulating a 23-week period of primaries and conventions. Your goal is to secure a majority of the 538 electoral votes, and the first player to reach 270 wins. Will you be the one to take the nomination and claim victory? There's only one way to find out - gather your friends and start campaigning.
