PLAYING THE GAME

1. District lines are drawn

2. District lines are redrawn

3. Census

4. Election

DISTRICT LINES ARE DRAWN

In the first part the District lines are drawn.

There are 50 District Markers (Blank Chits). They are all the same.

The first player places 1D6 markers on the map, one per block.

The very first marker may be placed on any one of the 9 center squares.

All other markers must be placed on a block adjacent to another marker.

Adjacent means side by side, not diagonal.

The next player places 1D6 markers, then the next, and so on.

This continues until all 50 markers are placed.

Everything under a marker is part of the voting district.

DISTRICT LINES ARE REDRAWN

In the second part the District lines are redrawn.

Turns continue from where they left off.

The game will continue for another XD6 turns. X = number of players.

On a players turn he may move 1D6 markers.

A marker cannot be moved if it is adjacent to 3 or more markers.

A marker cannot be moved if this action separates the district into 2 or more

isolated parts.

A removed marker can then be placed back on the map adjacent to any other marker.

After this then a census is taken of the district

THE CENSUS

Take the 50 blocks in the district and count the number of each variable. For example:

The district may have contained: 16 High income blocks, 19 middle income, and

15 low income; 27 Democrats and 23 Republicans; 9 Blacks, 8 WASPs, 6 Europeans,

10 South Americans, 8 Caribbean's, and 9 Orientals; 10 Taxes, 6 Education,

10 Roads, 9 Health care, 7 Crime, and 8 Environmentalists.

THE ELECTION

Calculate votes for the candidates:

1. For each matching Income block get 2 votes.

For example: A High income candidate would get 32 votes for 16 High income

blocks in the district but no votes for middle and low income blocks.

2. For each matching Party block get 1 vote.

3. For each matching Race block get 3 votes.

4. For each matching First Allied Race block get 1 vote.

5. For each matching Second Allied Race block get 1 vote.

6. For each matching Primary Issue block get 3 votes.

7. For each matching Second Issue block get 2 votes.

8. For each matching Third Issue block get 1 vote.

VICTORY

The player with the most votes at the end of the game is the winner.

And your next elected official.

VARIATIONS

For a smaller game play on an 8 X 8 map and use 32 District markers.

Pick your candidates characteristics instead of generating them randomly.

GLADIUS

INTRODUCTION

Card game for two players. Common deck.

Players are a pair of Roman Gladiators fighting to the death in the arena.

One player is a type of gladiator called the Secutor.

The other player is a type of gladiator called the Retiarius.

VICTORY

Reduce your opponent to zero hit points.

At this point, you have your opponent at your weapons tip, and

you await the final judgment of the cheering crowd.

HIT POINTS

Each Gladiator starts with 10 hit points.

SECUTOR

Secutor: Used an egg-shaped helmet with round eye-holes, greave on one leg, arm

protector, legionary-style shield and sword. The secutor was called a “chaser,” probably

because he was frequently paired with the retiarius, who used running as one of his

tactics.

RETIARIUS

Retiarius (“net-and-trident” fighter): used an arm protector (often topped with a high

metal shoulder protector), large net, trident, small dagger, no helmet; the retiarius was the

only type of gladiator whose head and face were uncovered. Since he wore practically no

defensive armor, the retiarius was more mobile than most gladiators but was also more

vulnerable to serious wounds.

DECK

Players share a common deck.

The deck contains 56 cards.
