Hail to the Chief (1987)

About this game

Players compete to become elected President of the United States. Players travel the outside track of the game board on which the pictures of the U.S. presidents are featured. They gain delegate votes by their ability to answer historical and constitutional questions on the presidency. Questions on 4 levels of difficulty allow participation by players of all ages. On the campaign trail, players travel from state to state, winning electoral votes by answering questions on the history and the geography of the 50 states. Again, questions on 4 levels of difficulty make the game fun for everyone.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
