Experience the Watergate scandal from two distinct perspectives. Play as the Nixon Administration, working to control the narrative and suppress the truth, or take on the role of the Journalist, piecing together evidence to expose the conspiracy. Each side has a dedicated deck of cards with actions and events tailored to their objectives.
The Nixon Administration uses Momentum cards to shape public opinion and hinder the investigation, while the Journalist relies on Evidence and Informant cards to reveal key details and secure insider leaks. The Journalist must carefully link two informants with evidence before time runs out, while the Administration counters by discrediting sources and blocking progress.
Designed for two players, the game plays in 30-60 minutes with straightforward rules and dynamic card interactions. Thematically accurate cards and events recreate pivotal moments like the Saturday Night Massacre, immersing players in the historical tension of the scandal.
Things to Keep in MindSome players found the rules and setup to be complex and challenging to learn. Concerns were also raised regarding a potential imbalance, with some finding one side notably stronger. Additionally, a few users experienced a lack of sustained interest after multiple plays or felt its thematic connection to Watergate was superficial. Why You'll Like ItThe game is frequently praised for its strategic and engaging gameplay with notable intensity, offering high replayability and fostering a satisfying back-and-forth dynamic. It is often recommended for adults and older teens, with positive remarks on its design and mechanics.
