The confetti is flying, the champagne is flowing, and you have just accepted your party's nomination for President of the United States. Now it's time to hit the Campaign Trail! How will you chart your path to victory? Engage in grass roots campaigning, advertise, sling mud at opponents, fundraise, debate, and so much more! But be sure to avoid revealing those skeletons you have buried in your closet. The candidate who best manages their resources and connects with the public on key issues will win the presidency!

HOW TO PLAY

Campaign Trail uses card driven actions to implement your strategy. Your goal is to have the most voters for your party in enough states to win a majority of electoral votes. If you have the most voters in a state you are awarded that state's electoral votes (victory points). At the end of the game the player with the most electoral votes wins and is declared the president!

On your turn you play a card and take an action from that card. Each card has a choice among 4 of the game's 6 actions.

In addition to the base of card driven mechanics and area control, you will have a candidate card which gives you an individual player power. You will also have the opportunity to debate the current issues with your opponent. And finally, through the use of event cards, you can build up an engine to help out with resource production.

Lucy Q. ★★★★★

I've played two full campaigns so far and the state-by-state momentum tracking keeps every week tense right up to the convention. Just know the Green Party deck isn't in this box, so you'll want that expansion separately if third-party runs appeal to you.

Nicholas N. ★★★★★

The nomination-night scramble in the first scenario had me genuinely strategizing over delegate math, and the replay value is huge since each state's vote shifts in ways I didn't expect. Just wish the box made it clearer the Green Party expansion is separate, but the core game is a solid win.

Jacob ★★★★★

I’ve already sunk three evenings into one campaign run and the nomination speech audio still gives me chills every time. The policy decision cards really force you to balance your morals against polling numbers, and losing a swing state because of one bad town hall stung more than I expected. Wish t
