Description
In this board game, you'll navigate a path filled with key decisions about how political parties operate. By rolling the dice and moving across different colored spaces, you'll face challenges related to: elections, citizens, government, public policy, and Political Party Identity. On each turn, you'll need to analyze information, including excerpts from real documents, and decide what actions to take. Some decisions will help organize elections, others connect with voters, or push policies forward. If you choose wisely, you'll earn stars to complete each area. As you progress, the board will become simpler, and your goal will be to complete all categories. By playing, you'll understand how political parties organize political competition and influence public decisions. Watch out for your opponent!
