1960: The Making of a President is a two-player political strategy game focused on the historic U.S. presidential election between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon.

Using a card-driven system, players manage campaign resources across the United States, competing for electoral votes while responding to key events of the era. Issues such as civil rights, the economy, and Cold War tensions all influence the race, and players must balance long-term strategy with short-term opportunities.

The game captures the feel of a real campaign: limited time, shifting priorities, and constant pressure to control the narrative. Special mechanics represent televised debates, media influence, and the final push toward election day, adding variety and tension throughout.

Accessible and relatively quick to play, this is a strong choice for players interested in political games or historical simulations that focus on decision-making rather than military conflict.

Contents include: game board, cards, tokens, player aids, and rules materials.
