Delegate Dash is a round-based card/dice game where all players (the “candidates”) campaign for delegates across the USA in hopes of winning primary elections and ultimately the Presidency. All it takes is strategy, luck and of course screwing your political opponents!
Although not strictly an educational game, Delegate Dash loosely simulates the U.S. Presidential election process without involving any political leanings. Game play is based on actual electoral vote calculations in a simplified yet fun manner!
Interactive Game Play: Delegate Dash is designed for all players whether they love politics, hate politics, or avoid politics altogether like their crazy ex. Basic game play is as follows:
On their turn, all candidates draw and play cards, which allow them to add or remove delegates on the game map.
The number of delegates determines the number of dice rolled on Primary Election rounds. The winners of these primaries collect Electoral College points.
The candidate with the highest number of Electoral College points at the end of the game wins the Presidency! (And bragging rights) ;)
In Delegate Dash, no candidate is ever really "out of the race" at any time. Superior strategy will enhance chances of winning, but a little luck may swing the race in unexpected ways.
