Political Capital: The Economist board game

A pull-out game from the Christmas 1998 issue of The Economist magazine. Each player represents the leader of a country. Every leader wants to stay in power for longer than any of his peers--that's what it takes to win. To achieve this you need to manage your political-capital points. The to and fro of normal political life will eat into your capital--but good judgment, good luck and well timed elections can replenish it.
