It is 1828, and the time for elections has come around again in this newly-formed democracy we call the United States of America. John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson are the candidates vying for the people’s votes. For the first time in history, this grand campaign is also fought on the pages of newspapers and in front of an eager public audience. This was an election that found its way into history books with its yet unseen ruthlessness and malevolence. This was America’s first smear campaign.
In the two-player game Revolution of 1828, you are trying to become the next President of the United States! To reach this lofty goal, each player tries to take the election tiles that suit you best and hinder your opponent’s campaign. Election tiles allow you to garner the allegiance of electors and use the power of smear campaigns to skew the populace in your favor. If you also use the powerful campaign actions to your advantage and have the press look the other way, nothing should stand in your way!
Gain the most votes by the end of the game and start your work as America’s seventh President!

Vraiment surpris par ce jeu, j'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à y jouer avec un amis. On s'attendait à rien et un jeu ordinaire et on a eu une expérience amusante en plus de surprenante. Un beau duel de choix comme je les aimes. Je vais y rejouer quelque fois pour décider son rating.

Abstract game with difficult to understand rules. The imagery does not support the game play and thus you end up with always looking back into the rulebook. Furthermore, the different pieces such as campaigns and actions are difficult to differentiate from each other. Is basically determinsitic once you drew all tiles from the bag.

Theme is exceedingly thin, could literally be anything. Suggests to me that the theme was picked to be provocative, which is just silly. And for the big sales to all the JQA fanboys out there.
