Founding Fathers just came out this month, actually debuting for sale (if I remember correctly) at GenCon, possibly Origins.
Am I the biggest nerd for thinking that this game sounds amazingly COOL?!?
Check out the pictures - especially this one. You have a hand of various political figures who played a role in the Philadelphia, where the U.S. Constitution was written, and they form your caucus. They have various powers and influence, and the goal is to use them to win the vote on issues and gain prestige. The player who ends with the most prestige wins.
I'm hoping to find the $$ to get my hands on it soon and you can BET it will show up for some Friday Night Board Gaming!
