Description
Will you be the first to gain the 270 electoral votes needed to become the next president of the United States? Bring the excitement of the election home as you battle it out against another player or team. Using the double-sided game board, there are two versions of game play: a simpler one using addition or a more complex version using multiplication. Game play is very straightforward, simply roll the four dice and add or multiply (depending on which version you are playing) two pairs to get different numbers. For example, if you roll a 7, 4, 8, and 5, you can get 11, 13, 15, 9, 12, or 12 (using addition) or 28, 40, 56, 20, 35, or 32 (using multiplication). Each number correlates to a group of states, and you will choose one state from each group to “claim." Using the two provided dry erase markers (red and blue), simply fill in the mark on the state, the corresponding star on the state grouping that you chose from (on the sides of the U.S. Map gameboard), and the number of electoral votes you received (from the board's bottom). States with higher numbers of electoral votes need multiple spots filled to get a majority and win their votes. Strategy cards add another element to the multiplication game; they allow for some dice manipulation. 2 players or teams, game play ranges from 35-50 minutes. ~ Megan
Publisher's Description of Election Night Boardgame
Election Night is a multiple award winning game, where two players or teams battle for critical electoral votes in a gripping race for the presidency. Use your dice pool to choose products or sums that could help you the most. Strategically target key states with freezes and re-rolls to counter your opponent’s progress, and be quick to adapt strategy as conditions change. Lock down quick victories in small states or work for longer-term objectives in larger states on your way to gaining the 270 electoral votes you need to become President!
Election Night uses the patent pending PlaySmart Dice system, which emphasizes numbers associated with harder to learn sums and products. Election Night also comes with a double-sided game board which includes addition and multiplication versions so players of various skill levels can master essential math, while learning U.S. state geography and the mechanics of the Electoral College. Game play in Election Night encourages strategies that target what we know to be harder to learn sums and products, and associates those results with other essential knowledge (U.S. geography and Electoral College mechanics).
Perfect to learn or stay sharp on essential addition and multiplication while helping kids think big things--like running for and becoming President. Ideal for ages 8 and up, with multiple game versions and more complex play that add to high replay value for older age groups and adults. Great for game nights, family play or the classroom. Comes with double-sided, dry erase game board, 6 12-sided, patent pending, 25mm, Playsmart Dice, and two strategy card decks.
