Checks and Balances is a civics card game that simulates American Democracy. The game demonstrates the powers of each branch of government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial) and how they balance each other. When the powers of government seem unstable, the game demonstrates how voters, elections, activist organizations, lobbyists, campaign contributions, etc., come into play to restore balance!

The first player to pass 3 pieces of legislation to support their platform goals wins!
