MAJORITY is a game based on the United States Presidential Election system. The game board shows a "Majority map" of the United States duly adjusted to make it suitable for play. When a State is won, it contributes a number of "Electoral College Votes" towards the election of the candidate. There are a total of 538 Electoral College votes nationwide (50 states and Washington D.C.). To win, a candidate needs one more than half of that number, that is, 269 + 1 = 270. That is also the number required to win the Presidential election in this game. The game is played between two persons or groups, representing the Democratic and Republican Parties. There are "collateral results" for Governorship, Senate and House of Representatives races. Hence in this game you could win a consolation prize even if you lost the main event.
