Capstone Games | Watergate | Board Game | 2 Players | Ages 12+ | 30-60 Minute Playing Time, Brown

Enjoying the game so far (only played twice). The overall quality is reasonable. The one criticism I have is that the cards are warped/bent as if they were wrapped too tightly in the plastic. Another thing is that I can see how in time the cardboard tokens can become worn or peel around the edges as they aren't as smooth as those of some other games. The gameboard, box and card quality is very good and the wooden pieces nice & chunky. Plus the rulebook is full of interesting historical facts around the incident. You can get it cheaper from other retailers in the UK though...

A brilliant game. Very finely balanced and with a satisfying and well-serving aesthetic, complemented by fascinating tidbits of info and quotes. (Nb: We played it slightly wrong for the first few goes resulting in it feeling impossible to win as the Editor of the Washington Post. Be sure to move the new Momentum Marker on the Research Track whenever the editor places an Evidence Piece with the Momentum Marker symbol, on the evidence board.)

If you are looking for a good game for two that plays relatively fast (30 - 60 mins) and that it is tense and nobody know who is going to win until the very last moment, this is the game! A must have in any game collection.

I love this game - one takes the moral high road, one takes the easier option - its an arm wrestle!

My friend and I play a lot of Carcassonne, and we were looking for something new and a bit, well, shorter. Watergate was the perfect pick! It’s relatively easy to learn but the strategy can get very involved. And it only takes about 30-60 minutes so you can get a few games in in one sitting. The cards seemed a bit prone to damage (I started to see marks on the edges pretty early on) but otherwise the quality seems good and not too flimsy. Game nerds should definitely add this one to the repertoire!

Mi esposa y yo hemos estado juntando juegos para dos personas en esta pandemia, y definitivamente uno de los mejores es Watergate. Es dinámico estratégico y no bien acabas una partida quieres comenzar la siguiente.

En ces temps de pandémie, ce jeu à 2 joueurs est très bien pour se divertir. Qu'on soit féru d'histoire ou non, le jeu fonctionne très bien (des concepts d'affrontement, des cartes en réponse de l'action de l'autre, le mécanisme de ligne de progression). Évidemment pour les amoureux des scandales historiques, le jeu prend beaucoup plus de profondeur mais c'est optionnel, tout le monde peut y trouver son compte. Les cartes sont superbes, les jetons sont de qualité et les règles ne font que 11 pages courtes, les autres n'expliquent que le contexte historique de certains évènements ou personnages présents dans le jeu. En tant que joueur très expérimenté, je me suis amusé malgré tout car au départ je craignais les jeux à deux joueurs.

Excellent jeu! Même si vous n'avez aucune idée c'est quoi le Watergate, vous allez adorer! La mécanique est originale et on doit être alerte tout au long de la partie. Pour les fans d'histoire, toute la saga et les personnages y sont présentés. Un must pour 2 joueurs!
