Question

-------------------------------------------
The text above is a follow-up to ...question about watergate game.  I still don't know what all the parts are to it.  I think I have them all, but there isn't anywhere where it tells what should be included in it.


-----Question-----
I have a watergate the game of politcal intrigue by g. neal.  It is dated 1973.  Do you know the game?  What are all the pieces to it?  It has been played and two of the box corners are torn.  Is this worth anything?
Thanks

Hi, sounds like you have the Politico Games version.  Despite the game's title, the game has nothing to do with political scandal. The object of the game is to score 270 out of the possible 538 electoral votes either solitaire or as part of coaltion with other players.
Since it has tears you won't fetch much for it, say on eBay.  You might get around $15.00-$20.00 if all the pieces are there.


Answer
Hello again,

I can only gather what pieces are in the based based upon the following description: "In turn, a player rolls the dice and moves one's pawn around the spaces on the gameboard. If a player lands on a space with a state's name on it, the player may pay the price to add that state's votes to one's score. When an individual or a group has collected 270 votes, the dice are rolled again. If a seven or eleven is rolled, all votes collected by the phasing player are lost and the game continues, otherwise the phasing player has won the game."

Two die (dice)
Six player pawns (it is a two-six player game)
Play money
Some sort of score card/pad (?)

That is all I have on this game, as I do not own a copy.
