CRIMINALLY underrated

Gorgeous art, immersive learning, and lowk why am I so invested in this? Also one of the characters totally looks like Lin Manuel Miranda just sayyyyyyinggggggggg

Fun but repetitive

Itโ€™s a fun game with the tokens arguments and a free play mode but it can get quite boring since there isnโ€™t much to do. It is also quite easy because the computer youโ€™re against can only influence one state at a time while you can influence multiple.

Five stars zero problems

People say itโ€™s bad are dirty piece of garbage island. Throw em in the bin. Nah but legit this a great game.

The reviews are just-

Okay, this is a great game, and I need to say that, even though I feel like it should be obvious. I would also like to say that I have won every time I play, wether federalist or anti-federalist. Itโ€™s really not that difficult. Next, donโ€™t listen to the review that talks about how federalists need 9 states and anti-federalists only need 5. This reflects history. If it was any other way, it would be inaccurate. Also, there are less anti-federalist tokens, which makes gameplay a little harder. Lastly, on the subject of the opponent, I think that it is much more fair than you make it out to be. Yes, the opponent creates a pamphlet every turn, but it only affects one state. You can affect probably about 5 or more if you find the right position. I would give this app four stars, but the average rating really needs to raised higher.

Good but 1 issue.

This game is a great game. But there is 1 issue. I hate how the Anti federalists only need 5 states and you need 8. This is why every single round I lose. There is really not really any other ways to divide the 13 states but one suggestion is at least they need 6 and you need 7. It would make it much easier. Other than that great game!
