	Description Edit \| History

From the publisher:
In the retro-future Hometown USA known as Rocketville, there's no greater honor or privilege than holding the office of Mayor- the goal of this fast-paced game of luck and strategy. Traveling from district to district via rocket, players campaign for votes- making promises, garnering endorsements, and recruiting robotic assistance- in a mad dash to win the popular vote and the game.
