In the two-player game Watergate, one player represents the Nixon administration and tries not to resign before the end of the game while the other player represents The Washington Post and tries to show the connections between Nixon and some of his informers.

Meaty tug-of-war

Great game for two. Easy to learn, and really full of interesting stuff about the actual events for those inclined to read. Fast shipping and great condition as usual.

Great condition, fast shipping, great game!

Great for history buffs

Such an interesting and compelling game! Great 1-on-1 game. Almost like chess!

Lean CDG with great subterfuge

Great Card-Driven Game, plays quick and lean without requiring TOO much knowledge of the cards (unlike a Twilight Struggle).
Lots of fun subterfuge and feigning using hidden evidence marker, and some gamesmanship available by targeting or feigning interest in key witnesses, forcing your opponent to spend their cards.

Capstone Games has been such a consistent tastemaker over the past 2 years.

One of our favourite 2p games.

This is what I wanted twilight struggle to feel like. Nice and quick, tactical card play. Very strategic game.

Great game!

A great shedding game where you play poker hands and power cards.

Nightfall Lite but Not Nightfall 2.0

If you liked Nightfall, but thought individual creature combat was too tedious? You'll probably like this.

If you liked Nightfall but thought the game was too slow to ramp up, or too long to finish/hand out all wounds, you'll like this.

If you thought Nightfall's "Private Archive" claims ended to overpower the game based on luck of the draw, you'll like Unchained's 3x3 market grid.
-----
As far as deck builders go, I like Unchained. It will take awhile to really know the card power combos. The symbols look overwhelming at first, but are kind of intuitive once you're used to how the cards work. Combat is total offense vs total defense and result is one fatigue (wound). So no MTG-ish "creature 1 attacks player B and creature 2 takes 3 wounds against player C." It does speed up and simplify the game a lot. The 3x3 card market is brilliant. You can get cards you want and/or clear out cards you don't want your opponents to get. Much more variety of cards to cycle through than 8+2 archives = 10 cards to choose from per game.

Solid 4/5 all around. I'd give 5/5 if there was a happy medium in combat between Nightfall and Unchained. Not as super simplified as Unchained, but not like Nightfall's individual cards combat. Maybe a power on some cards "stays in play after combat" so there's a larger chance of different strategies than "I punch you, you punch me, repeat"

I never got the game

I ordered this 2 weeks ago and still did not even receive it before it asks me to review this.
