This fun, fascinating, and cleverly designed game gets kids thinking mathematically, geographically, civically and strategically! There are several ways to play, each and every one of them fabulous. The two primary games involve players rolling four 12-sided numeric dice and choosing the sum or product combinations that best serve their needs. Players earn points by winning states, a feat accomplished through accurate calculations and smart choices. The double-sided game board is a masterpiece of fun that includes addition and multiplication game versions played on color coded Electoral College maps. The design of the board and mechanics of game play have been so perfectly conceived (kudos to the designer) that the action hums along like a well-oiled machine! Because Election Night has unusually high replay value (i.e, playing it never gets old) kids accrue invaluable calculative experience from which they gain an uncommonly keen knowledge of essential math facts.
