Watergate

• Decide who will play as Nixon and who will play as the newspaper editor
• Each player takes the card deck corresponding to their character:
  • Each deck contains 20 player cards + 1 momentum card
• Place the game board such that your character's end of the research track is closest to you
• Place your momentum card on your side of the board
• Place the initiative card next to the research track with the initiative arrows pointed to the editor
• Place 1 initiative token and 1 momentum token on the 0 space of the research track

The game is played over a series of rounds, where each round contains the following phases:

• Initial Phase
• Card Phase
• Evaluation Phase

• The game ends in the following ways:
  • If Nixon gets 5 momentum tokens on their card, Nixon wins
  • If during the evaluation phase you cannot place a momentum token on the research track because none are left in the supply, Nixon wins
  • If the editor can connect two informants with picture tiles on the evidence board to Nixon in the middle, the editor wins
