Watergate

In Watergate, one player assumes the role of a [Washington Post] journalist, while the other embodies the Nixon administration — each with a unique set of cards. To win, the Nixon administration must build up enough momentum to make it to the end of the presidential term, whereas the journalist must gather enough evidence to connect two informants directly to the President. Of course, the administration will do all in its power to smother any evidence.

Lo conocí de la mano de Isma. Un juego a dos de tira y afloja, ambientado en el caso que da nombre al juego. Es muy tenso. Es un card driven, en el que las cartas se pueden usar como eventos o como acción para actuar sobre un track en el que se reparten dos token (iniciativa e impulso) y las pistas. Nixon gana si consigue un ímpeto de 5 y el editor gana si consigue conectar a nixon en el tablero con dos confidentes. Las pistas que gana Nixon sirven para bloquear zonas del tablero y dificultar esa conexión. Es un juego muy rápido y muy tenso, en el que cualquiera de los jugadores tiene opciones

This game is one of my favourite games for two players. It can be played in less than an hour and it feels in someway like playing Twiligh Struggle. The theme is very well implemented, the box size is reasonable for the components and has a good price.
