Description:
In June 1972, five men are arrested in Washington's Watergate building. What's looks like a third-rate burglary attempt of the Democratic National Committee induces journalists of the Washington Post to start an investigation. What they discovered was that the five men were directed by the White House to spy on political opponents. In Watergate, one player assumes the role of a Journalist, while the other embodies the Nixon Administration - each with a unique set of cards. To win, Nixon must build up enough momentum to make it to the end of the presidential term, whereas the Journalist must gather evidence to link the crime directly to the President.
