Abstract
A board game device is disclosed which comprises a body component that is configured in a flat, rectangular shape which can be folded into a box. The game is intended for two to four players. Players use the central spinner to dictate where they can go on the board game device and can pick up cards when necessary to further dictate player movement across the board. Throughout the game, players must navigate the barriers to polling and voting, with spaces on the board representing various hindrances that players must overcome, thereby awarding points either negatively or positively based on their reactions to certain voting scenarios. The goal of the game is to accumulate the most points.
