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!

One of those many 2P multi-region push'n'shoves without anything really to raise it above the likes of Battle Line Cheap :star::star::star::nostar::nostar: Quality Abstract :star::star::nostar::nostar::nostar: Themed Light :star::star::nostar::nostar::nostar: Heavy Shallow Curve :star::star::star::nostar::nostar: Steep Curve Elementary :star::halfstar::nostar::nostar::nostar: Complex Tactics :star::star::star::nostar::nostar: Strategy Integrated :star::star::star::star::nostar: Artificial Luck :star::star::star::nostar::nostar: Skill Active :star::halfstar::nostar::nostar::nostar: Passive Short :star::star::nostar::nostar::nostar: Long [b]Best with 2[/b]

Good game. But jeez does that iconography suck! Luckily there are only several to decipher and you can make an overall check of the ones in play at the start of each round.

This one was weak. I like the interaction, however it's too simple and repetitive over the course of the game.
