Semper Smart Games Election Night! 2024 Edition Board Game for 2 Players, Ages 12+

This is a must as a homeschool family! We've had this game for a couple of years now, and it's still a family favorite. My 9- and 7-year-old are reaching for this game often to play on their own. One of the things I appreciate most is that they can play independently without needing constant help. I love that it's helped them get familiar with where states are located on a map and it has helped them memorize how many electoral votes many states have. I've also noticed their speed with adding numbers has improved. It's a wonderful hands-on way to introduce geography, math, and civic concepts in a fun and engaging way. Highly recommend for families looking for an educational game that kids will genuinely enjoy!

My family and I really loved this game. Played it in teams and the winners get to be called president and vice president for the day. What I loved most about the game is that kids are getting a civics lesson on the electoral college while there playing without even realizing it. It also meets the educational needs of children of various ages since we're able to either use addition on one side or multiplication on the other side. And as an added bonus fractions are practiced. I decided to later purchase the bonus card questions but haven't broken them out yet . But I highly recommend this game. I do want to add though game play is rather long. I'd say 30/ 45 min. But the dice are so cool and enable so much mental math practice that you could choose to play this instead of a math lesson. I purchased this and a few other games to help prevent the summer slide of math and help with Geography. So far so great, been using with 3 and 5th grader. And I can tell we'll be able to use for years to come.

I use this game to help teach my university students about the electoral college and what it takes to be president. The game makes students learn about geography, math, and strategies to win the White House. Now, I give a lecture on the electoral college and then have them play the game. Days later, they still call their classmates Mrs. and Mr. President. This was the first time I had to kick students out of the classroom because a new class was coming in AND they requested I bring the games back another week! I can’t stress enough how that never happens! If you teach PoliSci at any grade level and want to incorporate an engaging lesson plan, THIS is it! For reference, I used 7 games for a class of 26. Games lasted between 30 minutes to 1 hour.

This is an amazingly fun game. It is our family's favorite choice right now. It is easy to play and draws you in with some very thoughtful rules that make it easy to strategize how you will get the necessary electoral votes. It is also really funny to see a state that in the real world might be red or blue go the other way in the game on the road to the white house. One of the great things about this game is that there are several layers of numbers in the game and several opportunities each turn for math. However, it is not overwhelming at all and the game designers built in a lot of visual clues and ways to keep track of everything so the math is fun and doesn't disrupt game play. Highly recommend!

This game is AWESOME!! I am a K-5 Math Specialist and a mother of a 2nd grader child. At first I thought, in theory the game is a good idea. After I played the game I realized that it's actually amazing!! Kids are motivated to combine (add or multiply) two out of four dice to strategically collect electoral votes across the US. This game is easy to learn and easy to extend. I literally saw some of my daughter's fact fluency evolve from counting on to derived facts in one sitting. The game has a ton of repetition without feeling repetitive at all. To the game maker - When's your next game coming out? I am always looking for a game (learning related) that reaches a wide audience, is easy to adapt, and most of all fun to play!
