Politics simulates a very simplistic version of the presidential election in the United States of America (electoral votes based on the 1950 census).
The playing board represents a map of the United States showing each state and its capital. On a player's turn, they roll 3 dice (1 colored, 2 white) - the colored dice tells the player which states to be worked in this turn and the white dice tells the player how many "counties" (4-7 in each state) they win.
An official "vote" is taken when all the states have at least one candidate in it and someone rolls doubles. The player who has the most counties in any given state wins all the electoral votes from that state. If one player does not have a majority of electoral votes (269), only the two players with the highest votes continue - the rest are eliminated. It continues until another official vote is taken and a winner is determined.
