The present invention entails a game and a game board apparatus. The game board apparatus comprises a game board, a pack of fifty-one playing cards and two normal six-sided dice. The game board is ruled into eighty- eight squares made up of eleven columns labelled A to K and eight rows within the confines of which fifty-one squares represent America's fifty states and the District of Columbia. The states, this term to include the District of Columbia whenever not specified, are so arranged that the boundaries approximate the map of the United States. On each of the fifty squares is written the name of the state and the state's electoral vote. The fifty-one cards have the same information as on the squares, but in addition also display the flag of the state, the letter indicating the state's location, that is any of the letters A through K, and the state's Trump Number, which is an indication of the relative ease with which that state can be won. The game is played by two persons designated the presidential candidates of the Democratic and Republican Parties. The game simulates the United States' presidential election system. Play involves contesting and contriving to win the Electoral College votes from three groups of states, namely, the locked states, the swing states and even sometimes the so-called lost states. The objective of the game is to be the first to win at least two hundred and seventy Electoral College votes.
