Politics!

Politics is a simple political simulation game for 1 to 4 players who want to really hate each other.

Goal

In Politics the goal is to stay at the highest level of power for the longest possible number of turns. Each year in power grants you a certain number of points based on the office you held.

Note: There are no points for enacting good laws or policies.

Here's the point system for each office:

• President: 50/Term, 10 Years maximum (2 Terms, 100pts)
• Vice President: 40/Term, as long as the President is in office (2 Terms, 80pts)
• Speaker Of The States: 20/Term, 12 Years maximum (3 Terms, 60pts)
• Speaker Of The People: 2 points per year, 20 Years Maximum

The President and VP "enjoy" 5 Years/Term while the State and People have 4 Years/Term. The longer you are in office the more points you receive. If someone (including a computer AI) beats you in the race then you lose. The game ends when any player gets 100 points or all players have been beaten by AI. Here are the ways you can win:

• Be President for the full 10 years (Vice Presidents never win this way)
• Stay in office as the People Speaker for a full 20 years and then State Speaker for 12.
• Ride on the coat tails of the President as the VP, get him impeached, get elected.
