Review: Campaign Manager 2008
Posted by James (admin) on 27th August 2010
Campaign Manager 2008 is a card-driven game recreating the Presidential Election between Obama and McCain. The designers of the game are well-known for Twilight Struggle and 1960: Making of the President – both are card driven strategy games and Twilight Struggle is ranked the number 3 best board game of all – so the game was highly anticipated.
The game primarily consists of 45 cards for each player, a deck of Breaking News cards, a mini-board for each state. Players aim to win the electoral votes of each state and be the first player to gain 270+ votes. During the game, 4 states boards are laid between the players which are the ones the players are currently campaigning (fighting) over to win. Each state has a track showing whether economy or defence is currently the important issue to its voters, and each state has two demographic groups printed on them with a marker showing which is currently the most influential group in that state.
