The Making of the President - NEW (?) GAME - available 23rd April 2008 ukL 29.99
the 1960 merkin presidential election, between Kennedy & Nixon, was arguably one of the great turning-points defining the way the modern world grew up after, and out of, that of the immediate post-second world war; and it was decided by a mere handful of electors - tens of thousands, out of a population of hundreds of millions
Players take on the roles of one of the two main candidates using a card-driven game system atempt to win the replays of the twists and turns of the two campaigns, including taking positions on the major issues of the day and re-fighting the famous televised debates (in which Nixon's visual image worked badly against him in many ways); major and minor plot turns are determined by the way the candidates play the cards they receive in any particular running of the game
