Chicago '68 pits revolutionary spectacle against civil order at the Democratic National Convention riots of 1968. Players take the role of either the Establishment or the Demonstrators in this fast-paced game of street battles and political maneuvers. Each side plays from two asymmetric decks of action cards. The Establishment positions tactical forces and police platoons to co-ordinate mass arrests while working the convention floor. The Demonstrators, on the other hand, can pivot from direct clashes to radical street theater; their tactics can be reactive and unpredictable, allowing for wild cat-and-mouse chases and mischief-making across the tear-gassed avenues of groovy downtown Chicago.
This will be a 2 v 2 team game, the Establishment players will represent the Mayor's office and the Police. The Demonstrator players will take on the jobs of the Yippees and the MOBE.
The Establishment win by getting Humphrey nominated at the convention and winning the media exposure battle. The Demonstrators win by stopping either one of those two things from happening (getting McCarthy nominated over Humphrey or winning the media). However, the Demonstrators must be careful to keep their forces on the board. If they ever have zero Agitators on the board the Establishment wins a sudden death victory!
