## Description

Review: Best 2 player board game - Not much to say. The learning curve is steep but once you get the gist, it plays quite fast. Probably one of the most engaging 2 player games I have ever played.
Review: Intense strategy game that plays in under an hour - I love this game! It's such a back-and-forth and equally balanced between the journalists and the Nixon Administration. Every move is super intense. There are no wasted actions. In Watergate, the players take turns playing cards that represent the major events and people involved in the Watergate scandal. One side plays a journalist who is trying to establish a link between Nixon and two co-conspirators. The other side plays the Nixon Administration, who is trying to block those links and misdirect the investigation. Play takes place on a really cool board that has string and thumbtacks. Evidence tokens can be placed by the journalist on the thumbtacks, representing something that will eventually tie Nixon to a co-conspirator if they can be laid in an unbroken line to a witness that has been recruited to the journalist's side. Similarly, Nixon can destroy a piece of evidence by placing the token on the thumbtack upside down, thereby breaking part of the chain. Or the players can move their influence and momentum tokens, to try to get more powerful moves (in the journalist's case) or to last out the term (in Nixon's case). Deciding what to do and how to use your cards -- which can be used in different ways -- is the crux of the game. It's a constant back-and-forth and every decision is agonizing in a good way. Both sides are super-balanced as well, and it's fun to switch roles and learn all the cards. In the process, you might also get to learn a little about the Watergate scandal itself, though you really don't need to be interested in history or even care about the scandal in order to enjoy the game. The gameplay is honestly that good. A really great two-player game for adults and older teens.
