The Spin Doctors

Imagine this: you are the right hand of a presidential candidate. Behind the scenes you pull the strings, spread your campaign team across the country and try to win over as many voters as possible. In The Spin Doctors you step into the shoes of a campaign manager who will do anything to get his candidate into the highest office. Election debates, raising money, hitting the streets to drum up votes: anything goes, and sometimes things get a little less than clean. Each round you send your staff to different regions, each with their own task. But watch out, because you place your cards face down on the board. Your opponents can see where you send people, but not who they are or what they are going to do. That makes for an exciting game of bluffing and predicting. Every staff member has their own talents that come in handy in certain situations, so you need to think your moves through carefully. On top of that you also keep an eye on your election programme, because every promise you break costs you votes. This tough strategic battle for 3 to 5 players takes about two hours and is suitable from age 14. Whoever ends up with the most votes among all population groups becomes president. Media manipulation, provocation and leaking sensitive information are all part of the game. Do you dare to grab power?
