Like it!
Enjoying the game so far (only played twice). The overall quality is reasonable. The one criticism I have is that the cards are warped/bent as if they were wrapped too tightly in the plastic. Another thing is that I can see how in time the cardboard tokens can become worn or peel around the edges as they aren't as smooth as those of some other games. The gameboard, box and card quality is very good and the wooden pieces nice & chunky. Plus the rulebook is full of interesting historical facts around the incident. You can get it cheaper from other retailers in the UK though...

Tightly balanced excellent game
A brilliant game. Very finely balanced and with a satisfying and well-serving aesthetic, complemented by fascinating tidbits of info and quotes. (Nb: We played it slightly wrong for the first few goes resulting in it feeling impossible to win as the Editor of the Washington Post. Be sure to move the new Momentum Marker on the Research Track whenever the editor places an Evidence Piece with the Momentum Marker symbol, on the evidence board.)

A gem of a game!
If you are looking for a good game for two that plays relatively fast (30 - 60 mins) and that it is tense and nobody know who is going to win until the very last moment, this is the game! A must have in any game collection.

I love this game - one takes the moral high road, one takes the easier option - its an arm wrestle!

My friend and I play a lot of Carcassonne, and we were looking for something new and a bit, well, shorter. Watergate was the perfect pick! It’s relatively easy to learn but the strategy can get very involved. And it only takes about 30-60 minutes so you can get a few games in in one sitting. The cards seemed a bit prone to damage (I started to see marks on the edges pretty early on) but otherwise the quality seems good and not too flimsy. Game nerds should definitely add this one to the repertoire!

Mi esposa y yo hemos estado juntando juegos para dos personas en esta pandemia, y definitivamente uno de los mejores es Watergate. Es dinámico estratégico y no bien acabas una partida quieres comenzar la siguiente.

Excelente duelo de inteligencia, con corta duración; la decisión a tomar en cada turno es excruciating, me encanto

The game is very fun! But, it’s upsetting to get the delivery wrong, the whole box side was smashed, the inside of the game was ok, but now you have to hang around this this box that half closes =\ The game is too expansive to get the delivery wrong.
