Played by 4 to 8 players, you aim to spell V-O-T-E by collecting quote cards. Each round, a CEO reads a quote with a missing phrase, and players submit phrase cards to complete it. The CEO shuffles and reads all options, then selects the winning phrase. Special Trump cards add unique powers. The game blends political satire with a party atmosphere.
Who Is This Game For?
This game targets adults aged 18 and up who enjoy political satire and party games. It's a casual party game rather than a complex strategy title. Experience with similar games like Cards Against Humanity helps but is not required.
How It Works
Each round, one player acts as CEO and reads a quote card missing a phrase. All players submit a phrase card face down to fill the gap. The CEO shuffles and reads all submissions, then chooses the best one. The winner collects the quote card. Players then draw back up to ten phrase cards. The goal is to be the first to spell V-O-T-E with collected quote cards.
