Classroom Considerations
- Could take a little bit of time to grasp how the game works, so it's perhaps best played together as a class guided by the instructor
Pros
- Differentiated by elementary, middle, and high school
- Conveys important considerations of a modern presidential candidate, such as need for a media campaign or to make an appearance to gain favor with a particular state
- Includes interactive electoral map that reflects each state's electoral votes, funding opportunities, and issues that are supported/opposed
Cons
- Limited options to choose from in your debate responses, and does not leave room for alternative reasons
