## Description
In 1828, the fledgling American democracy gears up for a historic election. John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson clash, and the battle spills beyond the ballot box into newspapers, smear attacks, and backstage maneuvers. In Revolution of 1828, two players take on one of these candidates, aiming to secure the presidency by using election tiles, smear campaigns, and powerful actions. Each round, players engage in open drafting, picking tiles that boost their influence over the board's regions. The Area Majority/Influence mechanic makes controlling specific zones—representing states or voter blocs—crucial for gathering votes. Campaign actions let you sway the press and launch dirty attacks against your opponent, echoing the ruthlessness of America's first smear campaign. The game is quick, lasting 30‑60 minutes, with a light learning curve and a 2.1/5 weight, ideal for those who enjoy strategic choices without heavy complexity. At the end, the player with the most votes becomes the seventh U.S. president. Components include a region‑divided board, election tiles, campaign cards, and vote markers, all illustrated in a period‑appropriate newspaper style. The result is a tense yet fun blend of history and tactics, perfect for two players who love politics and a good strategic duel.
