Expose the cover-up or bury the evidence β history hangs in the balance
Vibe's take
Tense, asymmetric, elegant, gripping
Who it's for
Couples and history buffs who want a deeply thematic two-player experience. Perfect for anyone who loves asymmetric games with agonizing card choices.
Not for you ifβ¦
Strictly two-player only β no good with more. Theme may not resonate with those unfamiliar with Watergate history.
Watergate is a two-player tug-of-war where one side plays as Nixon trying to cover up the scandal while the other plays as the Washington Post editors connecting informants to evidence. Asymmetric card play creates a tense cat-and-mouse dynamic.
