"The contest is fought out on an electoral map of the United States as it stood in 1960—a map where Louisiana and Florida share the same number of electoral votes, as do California and Pennsylvania. This fast-playing strategy game for two players challenges they to run for the most powerful elective office in the world, at one of its most crossroads.
