This is where a lot of the fun was. Putting out ads was neat, accusations could be interesting, and gambling was good for a laugh if you were maybe giving up on your politician this round.

Spying, though, was a hit. You could scout them, or get details on how they’re running their campaign. If you were feeling cocky you could burn the signs they’d put up, and if you succeeded they wouldn’t know who’d done it.

The ultimate operation was the assassination. If you succeeded, your target’s career ended most darkly. Although his son (or daughter) would take up where the assassinated politician left off, it was a devastating blow. Much more devastating, however, was to be caught trying to assassinate somebody. Therefore, everybody tried to pay their Security staff well enough that they were safe. Overall, assassinations added a lot of edge and fun to the game.
