Read the full game description

Game Election is a simple and intuitive card game to help a group of 3-6 players decide which game to play in a fun and fair manner. The 54 card deck is comprised of six different sets of nine cards (YEA, DOUBLE YEAH, NAY, and VETO), and four of the cards have special powers such Cancel a Vote and Break Ties. But the powers have consequences: swap another player's cast vote and they get to chose your color/faction in the winning game! Gameplay is fast: players nominate up to 8 games and then place their votes in a face-down pile in front of the game. They may then use their one remaining card's special power... if they choose.
