Chicago '68

Compete for the hearts and minds of America during the Democratic National Convention riots of 1968. Players take the roles of the Establishment or the Demonstrators in a game of street battles and political maneuvering. Over five rounds, players use asymmetric action-card decks to move forces, claim strategic areas, manipulate the board, and pursue competing objectives. The Establishment coordinates police, tactical forces, undercover agents, tear gas, and the National Guard, while the Demonstrators combine direct confrontation with unpredictable street theater. Control of critical city areas and delegate votes determine which side gains the advantage.
