"The word politics comes from the Greek 'poly,' meaning many, and the English 'ticks,' which are blood-sucking insects." – James Carville
Swing States 2012, from Wes Erni and R. Ben Madison, is a solitaire game simulating a U.S. presidential election in a given year. You are a political strategist hired by the nominee to win the Presidential Election for either the Democratic Party (symbolized by a donkey) or the Republican Party (symbolized by an elephant).
You must make strategic decisions regarding fund-raising and expenditures; where to campaign and where to advertise; when and where to send the nominees and vital surrogates; and how much time they should spend fund-raising, preparing for debates, conducting opposition research, and dealing with scandals that appear out of nowhere.
