■ Product Introduction

[Highly strategic gameplay based on historical events]

This game recreates some of the most infamous political scandals in American history, from the Watergate scandal of 1972 to President Nixon's resignation in 1974.
It is based on historical facts, from an investigation by journalists at The Washington Post to the resignation of the president.

[Tense tactics unfold with asymmetric victory conditions]

The unique feature of this game is the asymmetry between the players.
One player plays the role of a journalist trying to uncover the truth, while the other player plays the role of the Nixon administration trying to cover up the allegations.
Each player uses a unique deck of cards and fights to achieve completely different victory conditions.
Nixon Administration players win by building enough momentum to last until the end of their presidency.
The journalists win if they can directly link the two informants to the president with sufficient evidence.
The government side tries to destroy the evidence by any means possible, leading to tense negotiations between the two sides.

[Strategic card play and token management are key]

The game board consists of two main parts: the Evidence Web and the Evidence Track.
The game centers around strategic card play and a tug-of-war between tokens such as evidence, initiative, and momentum.
Each card gives you the choice of using its numerical value to move tokens or as a special ability.
Momentum directly impacts victory for Nixon's side, and initiative is a key factor in determining who starts the round.
