INTRODUCTION
Game of Oration.
Players pretend to be USA presidential candidates.

PLAYER ROLES
There are 3 types of Player Roles:
1. 	Candidates	At least 2 players
2. 	Judge		One player only
3. 	Citizens	All remaining Players

SETUP
Players decide what roles they want to be.
Determine how much time is available to play.
The Judge picks which issues he wants to cover in the allotted time.

SEQUENCE OF PLAY
The Judge picks one issue.
Each candidate gets 2-5 minutes to address the issue.
The Judge determines speaking order, rules of conduct, and watches the clock.
Candidates should explain how they as president of the USA would solve the problem.
After all candidates speak on an issue, the Judge and the citizens vote to see 
which of the candidates they most agree with on that particular issue.
The candidate that gets the most votes for that issue gets an “Electoral Vote”.
If the Issue vote is a tie, neither candidate gets an Electoral Vote.
At the end of the gaming session, the player with the most Electoral Votes 
wins the presidential election.
