We the people…

Want to play Oval offense

Instruction guide

This process can get a bit hectic, so if you are the president, don’t be afraid to call on people individual or set some ground rules.

If certain point piles are empty, players may only choose from what is left.

How to win:

The first player to reach ten points wins the game.

The player who goes first should be the player that has most recently watched the news.

The rest of the players will be reporters.

Rounds:

The president starts by drawing a press topic card and reading it aloud to the reporters.

The reporters then each draw a tactic card. The more points for a tactic card, the more difficult it will be to complete.

The reporters take a few seconds to think about their strategy and raise their hand when they are ready. Once all of the reporter hands are up, the president may begin.

A timer is set for 2 minutes and 30 seconds for the reporters to talk and ask questions with the president to complete their tactic card.

Set up:

Make 4 piles of cards:

  • One point tactic cards
  • Two point tactic cards
  • Three point tactic cards
  • Press topic cards

How to play:

During each round, one player will be chosen to play as the president. This role will be transferred *peacefully* clockwise after each round.
