Description

· For President 2008 The 2008 elections are a turning point in American history. The era of President George W. Bush will soon be over. Will Barack Obama bring “Change we can believe in”? Or will John McCain bring “Change we need”? Both similar sounding slogans stand for completely different concepts deciding which turn America’s policy will take in the future.
· The Democrats and Republicans are divided by a deep gap of controversial political concepts. The economy, the war in Iraq, America’s dependence on oil imports, alternative energy concepts, and other major events which shaped the actual campaign are represented in a card driven game system.
· In For President 2008 you take the role of Team Obama or Team McCain. The contest is fought out on an electoral map of the United States as it stands in 2008.
· Preview Map: Both the candidates and their VP use markers in the game for their campaigns. Both teams can campaign in each state or make federal campaigns affecting national opinion.

There are never enough resources and time is too short to do everything that needs to be done. You will have to make priority decisions about where to expend your efforts to propel yourself into the White House.
· For President 2008 will also offer “What if” options. What if Hillary Clinton would be the Democrat Nominee? What if Hillary Clinton would be the Democrat VP and more…
· For President 2008 will give YOU the opportunity to rewrite history or recreate it.
