## Description

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.

Review: I love this game - one takes the moral high road, one takes the easier option - its an arm wrestle!
Review: My friend and I play a lot of Carcassonne, and we were looking for something new and a bit, well, shorter. Watergate was the perfect pick! It’s relatively easy to learn but the strategy can get very involved. And it only takes about 30-60 minutes so you can get a few games in in one sitting. The cards seemed a bit prone to damage (I started to see marks on the edges pretty early on) but otherwise the quality seems good and not too flimsy. Game nerds should definitely add this one to the repertoire!

*by Z***R on 13 April 2025*

Enjoying the game so far (only played twice). The overall quality is reasonable. The one criticism I have is that the cards are warped/bent as if they were wrapped too tightly in the plastic. Another thing is that I can see how in time the cardboard tokens can become worn or peel around the edges as they aren't as smooth as those of some other games. The gameboard, box and card quality is very good and the wooden pieces nice & chunky. Plus the rulebook is full of interesting historical facts around the incident. You can get it cheaper from other retailers in the UK though...
