Description

In the year 2130, after multiple wars between the planets nearly destroyed the galaxy, the ruling governments decided to resolve control of the galaxy through means of combat in the arena. Every ten years each planet sends its strongest candidate to win votes through skill in battle and the determination of the government's leading senators. Only after the blood and death that such an election as this can bring will a candidate be named Galactic President.

Galactic Presidency is a complex strategy game that uses both cards and dice. In each round candidates (players) utilize an Alien Power and have up to three senators, each using a unique weapon, battle for supremacy in the GALACTIC ARENA. All senators start with the same amount of health for their "head, body, and legs." A senator is killed when they no longer have health in one of these areas. Besides the use of Combat Cards there are also random events that can help or hurt all senators and will in some cases kill them. Candidates can win "Electoral Votes" but the vote value is kept hidden and is only revealed and counted if there is no clear victor at the end of the game.

The game can be played with 2 to 5 players, 12 years or older. The playing time is between 1.5 and 2.5 hours depending on your modifications to the rules - its easy enough to lengthen or shorten your game time. Our game is designed to promote "enjoyment through creativity" as well as keeping the potential to win the game even if the player had all of his senators killed.

To win the game a candidate must win two of three rounds, which is when one candidate is left standing, or have the greatest number of Electoral Votes.
