Mister or madam president

Abstract

This board game simulates the presidential nomination process and further requires the players of the game to demonstrate their knowledge of American's immigration issues, social issues, economy, foreign policy, healthcare, domestic policy, environmental, criminal issues, science, national security, education, and the electoral system. The game includes a game board having a serpentine or S-shaped track with a bilateral course, player pieces representing people candidates, trivia and scandal cards, answer key with playing instructions, and dice. All players begin at the debate stage. Each player will draw a card and answer the question presented. A correct answer moves the player forward toward the White House (on left side of the track). However, if the player answers wrong, they will move forward toward Informercial Land (on the right side of the track). The first player to reach the White House space is the nominated candidate for President of the United States.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A political candidate campaign board game apparatus which includes playing cards and playing pieces, for use by a plurality of game participants comprising:
 a playing board defining a playing surface having a bi-lateral, serpentine or S-shaped track path portion which has a multiplicity of consecutive playing sections;   First indicia containing the design of a debate stage where each game participant states their opinion of the chief issue in America and announces the launch of their campaign for presidency of the United States.   Next twenty-nine bi-lateral indicia consisting of multiplicity of consecutive playing sections along a serpentine or S-shaped track path allows game participants to switch tracks throughout the game based on correct or incorrect responses to questions on playing cards.   Last two indicia consisting of a victory space represented by an image of the White House and a loser space represented by an image of a television with the words and numbers, 1-800-NOT-ELECTED and Informercial Land.   A set of playing cards including twelve trivia categories (immigration, social, economy, foreign policy, healthcare, domestic policy, environmental, criminal, science, national security, education, and electoral system) and five scandal cards (based on true historical scandalous incidents that will delay progress or eliminate the game players) to be distributed to game participants throughout play that requires said game participant's response.   Three common playing pieces or distinctive playing pieces (each shaped in the form of a “person-like” candidate) for positioning on said bi-lateral multiplicity of consecutive playing sections along a serpentine or S-shaped track path, each of which represents one of said game participants, such positioning determining the location a game participant employs.
