Electioneer: UK Edition

A General Election has just been called and a perfectly good suit has been soaked through. Pick the CON, LAB, REF, LD or GRN Party and do whatever it takes to win in just five short weeks.

You will need to carefully balance constructing the perfect manifesto against going out to canvass in constituencies and changing the voters' minds in your favour. Every manifesto has to balance the books (or at least give the impression of it) and you will find yourself desperately trying to outwit your competitors.

Players take turns to draw a policy, and either a second or canvas in constituencies. They then lay out their manifesto. After all players have been, a poll is taken each week (round) to determine who's manifesto is most influential. After 5 weeks, the General Election occurs and the total impact of players policies on the constituents is calculated. The one with the most votes, points accrued along the way, wins.

Each set contains:

• Party specific policies based on the real manifestos
• Common policies that any Party can play
• Blank policies for you to extend beyond the basic game
• Issues that the voters care about
• Weekly events
• Theatrics representing the scandals and ridiculous sideshows that dominate the news
