Two camps, an asymmetrical duel
Watergate is an asymmetrical strategy game for two players. One player embodies the press, while his opponent embodies the Nixon administration, each with their own deck of cards.
Each card allows players to activate a specific action or the possibility of manipulating several elements (Evidence, Initiative or Momentum tokens) on the game board, towards journalists or the White House towards journalists or of the White House, like a tug of war. The final position of each token, at the end of the round, will determine their use by each side. It’s up to the players to decide which strategy they want to focus on: gaining initiative, managing evidence or gaining Momentum (allowing Nixon to win).
The actions allow in particular to recruit informants, to reveal evidence and thus create connections between the key figures of the scandal. The Nixon player can recruit conspirators and destroy evidence, thus blocking the connections created by the journalist.
To win, Nixon must reach the end of the presidential term by winning 5 Momentum tokens, while the journalist must gather enough evidence to link at least two informants directly to the president.
A nervous accessible strategy game!
