Overview

Votes for Women is an asymmetrical, two-sided game that revolves around the battle to ratify or reject the Nineteenth Amendment to the US Constitution. The Suffragist side will push Congress to propose the Nineteenth Amendment, and campaign to have 36 states ratify the Amendment. The Opposition side will try to prevent Congress from proposing the amendment or, failing that, to have 13 states reject the amendment.

Players will add or remove Congressional markers as support for the amendment waxes and wanes in Congress, while also placing Purple/Yellow cubes (Suffragist side) or Red cubes (Opposition side) to reflect their political power in individual states. When a player gains support in a state, they first reduce or eliminate their opponent's cubes, as needed, before adding their own cubes so that a state will only ever have Purple/Yellow or Red.

Once the Nineteenth Amendment has been sent to the states for ratification (or rejection), the Suffragist side will place a Green check in each state that ratifies the amendment and the Opposition side will place a Red X in each state that rejects the amendment.

Victory Conditions

If the Nineteenth Amendment has not been sent to the states for ratification by the end of Turn 6, the Opposition side immediately wins the game.

If the Nineteenth Amendment has been sent to the states:

• As soon as the 36th state ratifies the amendment, the Suffragist side immediately wins the game.
• As soon as the 13th state rejects the amendment, the Opposition side immediately wins the game.

Historical documents note: Because of the importance of the history of the campaign to pass the Nineteenth Amendment, the game includes a Historical Supplement & Designer's Notes booklet; a composite of all of the suffrage-related stories from the August 19, 1920 issue of The New York Times; and several historical documents that are described in the supplement.

The Board

The map of the United States is divided into six regions of eight states each: West; Plains; South; Midwest; Atlantic & Appalachia; Northeast. Each region has a Region Bubble where Campaigners are placed when in the region.

Players will place a Purple cube, Yellow cube or Red cube in a state to show their political power – and later, place a Green check or Red X in a state to show whether or not a state has ratified or rejected the Nineteenth Amendment.

Certain card events are Persistent Events. Cards with a rest-of-turn icon are placed in the "Cards in Effect for the Rest of the Turn" box. Cards with a rest-of-game icon are placed in the "Cards in Effect for the Rest of the Game" box. Cards with a ballot-box icon are placed in the "Cards in Effect for Final Voting" box.

The Congressional Track shows the level of support in Congress for women's suffrage. Players will add or remove Congressional markers to show the ebb and flow of support for the Nineteenth Amendment.

The Turn Track uses the Turn marker to indicate what turn it is.

The Pieces, Dice and Buttons

There are:

• Two standard Campaigners in each color: Purple (Suffragist), Yellow (Suffragist) and Red (Opposition), as well as two alternate design Campaigners in each color. Only two Campaigners of each color will be used during the game.
• 65 Purple cubes, 65 Yellow cubes and 60 Red cubes. Cubes are used to represent the political power of each side. The Suffragist side uses both Purple and Yellow (to represent the diversity of organizations and movements that worked for women's suffrage) while the Opposition uses Red.
• 36 Green checks and 13 Red X's to signify if a state has ratified or rejected the Nineteenth Amendment.
• Six Congressional markers to indicate the level of support for the Nineteenth Amendment in Congress.
• One Turn marker.
• Six blue dice with numbers 1-4, four red dice with numbers 1-6, four white dice with numbers 1-8. Also, two gray dice and three black dice used in Solitaire and Cooperative play.
• Twelve Suffragist buttons of four designs, and six Opposition buttons of two designs. These buttons represent the organizational strength of each side and are used to re-roll unsatisfactory die rolls, to move a Campaigner to a different Region, to bid on Strategy Cards and to spend as directed by certain Event cards.

The game comes with extra pieces in case any are lost or damaged. We recommend that you set them to the side.

Card & text symbol key: Suffragist Campaigner; Opposition Campaigner; Suffragist cube; Opposition cube; Purple or Yellow cube; Red X; Green check; Die (d4, d6, d8); Congressional marker; Button.

The Cards

There are five decks of cards:

• Suffragist Event deck (52 cards)
• Opposition Event deck (52 cards)
• Oppobot Event deck (42 cards)
• Strategy deck (12 cards)
• State deck (12 cards)

Event Cards

Each Event card includes a Card Title, Card Era, Event text, Historical text and a Persistent Event icon (if any).

Each card has a Card Era that is used to create each player's Draw Deck. Late cards will be on the bottom of the deck, Middle cards will be in the middle of the deck and Early cards will be on the top of the deck. The Suffragist and Opposition decks each have one Start card – this card will be in the player's hand at the start of the game.

Some Event cards have a prerequisite – for example, Fifteenth Amendment can only be played if The Civil War is not in effect. A card is in effect if it is in the appropriate Persistent Event box.

Sample Suffragist Event card – Fifteenth Amendment (Early era): Playable if The Civil War is not in effect. Roll a die. On a roll of 3-6, add 2 to Congress and add 8 cubes anywhere, no more than 2 per state. Historical text: While some suffragists opposed it to focus on universal suffrage, others supported the 15th Amendment that extended the right to vote to Black men.

Sample Opposition Event card – The Patriarchy (Start card): Add 1 cube in the South region. Receive 4 buttons in each state in the Northeast region, the Atlantic & Appalachia region, the South region and the Midwest region. Historical text: A term first coined in 1632, "patriarchy" describes a social hierarchy and system of political power dominated by men for their own advantage.

Some Event cards require a player to roll a die and only take the action on a roll of 3-6. Otherwise, the Event card is discarded with no effect – even if it has a Persistent Event icon on it. A player may spend a button to re-roll a die roll, and may continue to re-roll as long as they have buttons to spend.

Some Event cards are Persistent Events and are marked with special icons. If played as an Event, these cards are placed on the board in the appropriate Persistent Event space. Each space indicates the Persistent Event's effect.

There are two Event card icons that require specific explanation:

• The button icon represents buttons. The Suffragist player will receive or spend Suffragist buttons and the Opposition player will do the same in Opposition buttons.
• The cube icon allows the Suffragist player to place Purple and/or Yellow cubes. For example, if the Event text calls for the Suffragist player to place two cubes, they can place two Purple cubes, or two Yellow cubes, or one Purple and one Yellow cube.

State & Strategy Cards

On each State and Strategy card is a Card Title, Event text and Oppobot alternate text. Strategy cards also include Historical text. The State cards are color-coded to the region that they are located in.

Sample State card – Ohio: Draw 2 cards from your Draw Deck. Discard 1 card and play the other card for its event immediately. Oppobot: Play if there is at least 1 Congressional marker in Congress. Remove 1 from Congress.

Sample Strategy card – Superior Lobbying: Roll 4 dice. For each 6, 7 or 8 rolled, add 1 to Congress or remove 1 from Congress. Oppobot: Play if there are at least 3 in Congress. Roll 4 dice. For each 6, 7, 8 rolled, remove 1 from Congress. Reroll if no 6, 7, 8 are rolled. Historical text: Great lobbying depends on a deep understanding of a Member's ideology, constituency, and, ultimately, the conditions needed for reelection.

State cards can be claimed when a side has four cubes in that state, while Strategy cards are claimed either during the Strategy Phase or via Event card play.

Setup

This is the setup for the two-player Competitive game.

• Set aside the Oppobot deck and the gray and black dice, as they will not be used in the Competitive game.
• Place each player's cubes, Campaigners and markers on their side of the board (left: Suffragist / right: Opposition). Be sure to have exactly two Purple Campaigners, two Yellow campaigners, two Red campaigners, six Congressional markers, 36 Green checks and 13 Red Xs.
• Shuffle the State deck and then set aside the top three cards (they will not be used this game). Place, face up, the remaining nine cards in two rows along the bottom of the board.
• Shuffle the Strategy deck and then draw three cards and place them to the right of the State cards. Keep the rest of the Strategy deck nearby.
• Each player creates their Draw deck as follows: Separate the event cards by their Era – Start, Early, Middle, Late. Shuffle the Late cards and place them face down. Then, shuffle the Middle cards and place them face down on top of the Late cards. Then, shuffle the Early cards and place them face down on top of the Late and Middle cards. Each player takes their Start card into their hand.
• Place the Suffragist buttons and Opposition buttons at the top of the board.
• Place the Turn marker on Turn 1 on the Turn Track. Keep the blue d4, red d6, and white d8 nearby.

Sequence of Play

The game consists of six turns. If neither player has won after six turns, the game goes into Final Voting.

Each turn shares the following sequence of play:

1. Planning Phase
2. Strategy Phase
3. Operations Phase
4. Cleanup Phase

Planning Phase

Each player draws six cards from their Draw deck. When added to either their Start card (on Turn 1) or their card held from the previous turn (on Turns 2-6), their hand should begin with seven cards.

Strategy Phase

Please note that the Strategy Phase is skipped on Turn 1.

1. After looking at the available Strategy Cards, the Suffragist player announces how many buttons they will commit to the Strategy Phase. The Suffragist player may commit zero.
2. The Opposition player may then defer, match or supersede the Suffragist player's commitment. a. If the Opposition player defers, then the Suffragist player spends their committed buttons and selects a Strategy card. b. If the Opposition player matches, then both players spend that number of buttons and neither player selects a Strategy card. c. If the Opposition player supersedes, both players spend their buttons – the Opposition player spends one more button than the Suffragist player's commitment – and the Opposition player selects a Strategy card.
3. If a Strategy card is selected by a player, that player places the card, face up, in front of them and another Strategy card is placed along the bottom of the board so there are three Strategy cards available for future turns.

Operations Phase

There are six rounds in the Operations Phase. In each round, first the Suffragist player and then the Opposition player must play one card from their hand and may play one claimed Strategy or State card from in front of them.

When playing a card from their hand, a player has four options:

1. Play a card as an Event
2. Play a card for a Campaigning Action
3. Play a card for an Organizing Action
4. Play a card for a Lobbying Action

Play a Card as an Event

When a card is played as an Event, its event text is read and resolved. Some Event cards have a prerequisite for being played as an Event. If that prerequisite is not met, then the card may not be played as an Event. Some Event cards require a player to spend buttons to play the Event – if the player does not have enough buttons to spend, the card may not be played as an Event. Some Event cards require a successful die roll – if the die roll is a failure then the Event card is discarded without following the rest of the Event text. However, a player may spend a button to re-roll a failed die roll.

After resolving the Event, the card is placed in the discard pile – unless the Event is a Persistent Event. Persistent Events should be placed in the appropriate box on the game board.

Play a Card for a Campaigning Action

When a card is played for a Campaigning action, the player rolls a die for each Campaigner they have in play (on the board). If the player is unsatisfied with the roll, they may spend a button to re-roll all of the dice rolled. Once satisfied with their roll, the player assigns a die to each of their Campaigners. Each Campaigner may then place the corresponding number of cubes, matching the Campaigner's color, in the states within the region that the Campaigner is in. The player may spend a button to move the Campaigner to a different region, but all of the corresponding cubes must be put in the same region. Then the card is placed in the discard pile.

Example: The Suffragist player has a Purple Campaigner and a Yellow Campaigner in the Northeast. The Suffragist player rolls two dice and rolls 1 and 1. The Suffragist player decides to spend a button and re-rolls 3 and 4. The Suffragist player assigns the 3 to the Purple Campaigner and assigns the 4 to the Yellow Campaigner. The Suffragist player decides to place two Purple cubes in Vermont and one Purple cube in Connecticut with the Purple Campaigner. The Suffragist player also decides to spend one button to move the Yellow Campaigner to the West region, and places four Yellow cubes in California.

Play a Card for an Organizing Action

When a card is played for an Organizing action, the player takes as many buttons as they have Campaigners in play. Then the card is placed in the discard pile.

Play a Card for a Lobbying Action

When a card is played for a Lobbying action, the player rolls as many dice as they have Campaigners in play. For each 6 rolled, the player may add one Congressional marker to Congress or remove one Congressional marker from Congress. Then the card is placed in the discard pile.

Play a Claimed State or Strategy Card

When playing a claimed State or Strategy card, the player may play the claimed card before or after playing a card from their hand. The text on the card is read and resolved, similar to a card played as an Event. After play, the card is removed from the game. A player may only play one State or one Strategy card per round.

Cleanup Phase

After the six rounds of the Operations Phase is the Cleanup Phase.

At the end of Turns 1-5, any cards in the "Cards in Effect for the Rest of the Turn box" are placed in the appropriate discard pile. Each player should have one card in their hand to carry over to the next Turn. The Turn marker is advanced and the next Turn begins.

At the end of Turn 6, if the Nineteenth Amendment has not been sent to the states for ratification, the game ends in an Opposition victory. If the Nineteenth Amendment has been sent to the states for ratification but neither player has won the necessary number of states for victory, the game advances to Final Voting. Any cards in the "Cards in Effect for the Rest of the Turn box" and "Cards in Effect for the Rest of the Game box" are placed in the appropriate discard pile.

Organizational Buttons

Buttons are a sort of currency in the game that represent organizational strength. Buttons may be spent in the following ways:

1. A button may be spent to re-roll a die roll. If multiple dice were rolled, all of the dice must be re-rolled. A player may continue to spend buttons to re-roll the same roll until their supply of buttons is exhausted. A player may only spend a button to re-roll their roll, never their opponent's roll.
2. A button may be spent to move a Campaigner from one region to another region while a player is taking a Campaigning action. A separate button must be spent for each Campaigner moved.
3. Buttons are committed during the Strategy Phase and spent as directed by the outcome of that Phase.
4. Buttons may be spent as directed by Event card text.

Sending the Nineteenth Amendment to the States

When the sixth Congressional marker is placed in Congress, Congress has passed the Nineteenth Amendment and sends it to the states to be ratified or rejected. Remove all of the Congressional markers from Congress – the Congressional portion of the game is complete.

For each state that has at least four Purple/Yellow cubes, remove the cubes and replace them with a Green check. These states have ratified the Nineteenth Amendment. For each state that has at least four Red cubes, remove the cubes and replace them with a Red X. These states have rejected the Nineteenth Amendment.

As play continues, each time a state has four Purple/Yellow cubes, the cubes are immediately removed and replaced with a Green check, and each time a state has four Red cubes the cubes are immediately removed and replaced with a Red X. This only occurs after the Nineteenth Amendment has been sent to the states.

The moment that the 36th Green check is placed, the Nineteenth Amendment is ratified by the states and the game ends in a Suffragist victory. Alternatively, the moment that the 13th Red X is placed, the Nineteenth Amendment is rejected by the states and the game ends in an Opposition victory.

Adding or Removing Cubes in a State

Only one side may have cubes in the same state at the same time. If a player is directed to add cubes in a state that contains opposing cubes, each cube that is to be added removes an opposing cube. Once a state is empty of cubes, then cubes of their color may be added.

Example: There is one Red cube in California and the Suffragist player is adding two cubes to California. The Suffragist player first removes the Red cube and then adds either a Purple or a Yellow cube.

Whenever an Event directs a player to remove cubes of a particular color, this effect is limited to that particular color and only to what the opposing player has on the board. A player will never add their own cubes when directed to remove their opponent's cubes.

If a state has already ratified or rejected the Nineteenth Amendment – and therefore has a Green check or Red X in the state – cubes may not be added to that state.

Claiming State and Strategy Cards

The game begins with nine State cards available. When a player places their fourth cube in a state with a card, the player claims that State card and places it face up in front of them. The player does not lose the card if a subsequent play causes them to drop below four cubes in the state. New State cards are never put out – there are only nine State cards available per game.

The game also begins with three Strategy cards available. Strategy cards may be claimed either during the Strategy Phase or by play of certain Event cards. Any time a Strategy card is claimed, a new one is drawn for the Strategy deck so that there are always three Strategy cards available.

Claimed cards are always placed face up in front of the player. A player may play one claimed card – State or Strategy – in addition to the Event card that they must play from their hand during a round of the Operations Phase. After a claimed card is played, it is removed from the game.

When the Oppobot claims a State or Strategy card, the Oppobot immediately plays that card for the Oppobot effect listed on the card.

Final Voting

If after six Turns, the Nineteenth Amendment has been sent to the states but neither player has won the necessary number of states to win the game – 36 states for the Suffragist player or 13 states for the Opposition player – then the game enters Final Voting.

In Final Voting, the players take turns, starting with the Suffragist player, selecting a state to vote on the Nineteenth Amendment. Each player rolls a die. Either player may spend a button to re-roll their die. If a player has cubes in the state, then the player adds that number of cubes to their total roll. Whoever has the higher total wins the state and places either a Green check or Red X in the state. The default is that the Opposition player wins all ties. However, if the Suffragist player had previously played Miss Febb Wins the Last Vote, then the Suffragist player wins all ties.

Example: The Suffragist player has won 35 states and the Opposition player has won 12 states. Tennessee is the last state to vote and has two Red cubes. Both Voter Registration and Miss Febb Wins the Last Vote are in the "Cards in Effect for Final Voting" so the Suffragist player rolls a die and wins all ties. Because Voter Suppression was not played, the Opposition player rolls a die. The Suffragist player has one button remaining and the Opposition player has no buttons remaining.

The Suffragist player rolls a 5 and the Opposition player rolls a 4. The Opposition player adds 2 to their roll for the two Red cubes in Tennessee, so the Opposition player has a total of 6 and wins the state. But not so fast – the Suffragist player spends their last button and re-rolls a 6! Now both players have a total of 6 and the Suffragist player wins the state because Miss Febb Wins the Last Vote allows the Suffragist player to win ties.

The Suffragist player places their final Green check – the states have ratified the Nineteenth Amendment and the Suffragist player has won the game!

Playing with Two Suffragist Players

These are the rule changes for playing with two Suffragist players, either Competitive (versus one or two Opposition players) or Cooperative (versus the Oppobot).

• One Suffragist player will play Purple and use Purple cubes and Purple Campaigners.
• The other Suffragist player will play Yellow and use Yellow cubes and Yellow Campaigners.

The players pool their buttons together, regardless of who receives or spends them.

In Setup, the Purple player takes the Start card (Seneca Falls Convention) and the Yellow player takes an Early Era card at random as their "Start" card.

In the Planning Phase, each player draws three cards (instead of six), to bring the total number of cards in their hand to four.

In the Strategy Phase, the Yellow player makes the final decision on how many buttons to commit and decides on who receives the Strategy card if victorious.

In the Operations Phase:

• The Purple player plays the first, third and fifth round.
• The Yellow player plays the second, fourth and sixth round.

If playing a card as an Event that has the cube icon, the player may place cubes of either color. When a card is played for a Campaigning action, the player rolls the number of dice equal to total Suffragist campaigners, but allocates the dice only to their campaigners.

Example: There are three Suffragist Campaigners in play – two Purple and one Yellow. If the Purple player takes a Campaigning action, they would roll three dice and allocate two dice to one Purple Campaigner and one die to the other Purple Campaigner. If the Yellow player takes a Campaigning action, they would roll three dice and allocate all three dice to the Yellow Campaigner.

When a card is played for:

• An Organizing action: the Suffragist side takes as many buttons as they have Campaigners in play – both Purple and Yellow.
• A Lobbying action: the player rolls as many dice as they have Campaigners in play – both Purple and Yellow.

If the Opposition or Oppobot play Anti-Suffrage Riots, each Suffragist player discards one card at random and then draws one card from the Suffragist Draw Deck.

In the Cleanup Phase, the players may exchange their held card with each other if both players agree. The players may give or exchange any number of claimed State or Strategy cards with each other.

In Final Voting, the players will alternate picking states and rolling the die for their side. The order of state selection is Purple Player, Opposition/Oppobot, Yellow Player, Opposition/Oppobot.

Playing with Two Opposition Players

These are the rule changes for playing with two Opposition players Competitive (versus one or two Suffragist players).

The changes are very similar to playing with two Suffragist players except there is only a single color of Campaigners and cubes. The players pool their buttons together, regardless of who receives or spends them.

In Setup, the First player takes the Start card (The Patriarchy) and the Second player takes an Early Era card at random as their "Start" card.

In the Planning Phase, each player draws three cards (instead of six), to bring the total number of cards in their hand to four.

In the Strategy Phase, the Second player makes the final decision on how many buttons to commit and decides which player receives the Strategy card if victorious.

In the Operations Phase:

• The First player plays the first, third and fifth round.
• The Second player plays the second, fourth and sixth round.

In the Cleanup Phase, the players may exchange their held card with each other if both players agree. The players may give or exchange any number of claimed State or Strategy cards with each other.

In Final Voting, the players will alternate picking states and rolling the die for their side. The order of state selection is Suffragist Side, First (Opposition) Player, Suffragist Side, Second (Opposition) Player.

Managing the Oppobot

These are the rule changes for managing the Oppobot either in Solitaire (against one Suffragist player) or in Cooperative (against two Suffragist players) mode of play.

In Setup, set aside the Opposition deck and Opposition buttons, as they are not used by the Oppobot. Remove and set aside the two Strategy cards with an icon that say "Do Not Use Versus Oppobot" (Change in Plans and Opposition Research) from the Strategy Deck.

Create the Oppobot Draw Deck as follows: Separate and then shuffle the cards from each Era – Early, Middle and Late. Remove and set aside the top two cards from each Era and then use the rest to create the Oppobot Draw Deck – Late cards on the bottom, Middle cards on top of the Late cards, and then Early cards on top of the Late and Middle cards. Place the three Start cards (The Patriarchy, NAOWS Forms, and War in Europe) face up near the Oppobot Draw Deck.

The Oppobot skips the Planning Phase.

In the Strategy Phase, after the Suffragist side announces the number of buttons committed, the Oppobot rolls a die. If the Suffragist side's commitment exceeds the die roll, then the Suffragist side selects a Strategy card. If the Suffragist side's commitment equals the die roll, neither side selects a Strategy card. If the Suffragist side's commitment is less than the die roll, then the Oppobot picks a Strategy card at random and immediately plays it for the Oppobot effect listed on the card. Regardless of the outcome, the Suffragist side's buttons are spent.

In the Operations Phase, the Oppobot will either play a card for the Event or play a card to take a Campaigning action. If it is the first round of Turn 1, Turn 3, or Turn 5, the Oppobot will play its face-up Event card for the Event. Otherwise, the Oppobot draws the top card from its Draw Deck and determines if it is played for the Event or for a Campaigning action.

Several of the Oppobot Event cards say "Play if…" – if the condition is met, then the card is played for the Event. Otherwise, the card is played for a Campaigning action. A card will also not be played as an Event if doing so would provide no benefit to the Oppobot. This occurs on the rare occasion that the event text directs cubes to be placed in one region but all of the states in that region already have a Green check or Red X to reflect that the state has ratified or rejected the Nineteenth Amendment.

Some Oppobot Event cards add cubes without specifying a state – the state is determined by using the gray and black dice. The gray die determines the Region and the black die determines the State within that region. Each Region is numbered 1-6 and each State within a region is numbered 1-8. If the Region and State rolled already has a Green check or Red X in the state, re-roll the black die until a State that has not ratified, nor rejected, the Nineteenth Amendment is rolled. If all States in a Region have a Green check or Red X, re-roll the gray die to determine another Region.

Example 1: The Oppobot plays Conservative Opposition: Add 2 cubes in any three states. The Oppobot rolls a 1 on the gray die and a 4 on the black die, so add 2 cubes in Idaho (Idaho is State 4 in Region 1). Then the Oppobot does this two more times, rolling 2,1 and adds 2 cubes in Montana and rolling 6,8 and adds 2 cubes in New Jersey.

Example 2: The Oppobot plays Emma Goldman: Add 1 cube in one state of each region. The Oppobot rolls a die six times, once for each region starting with Region 1 (West) and ending with Region 6 (Northeast) and placing 1 cube in the State that corresponds to the number rolled.

When the Oppobot places a fourth cube in a state with a state card, the Oppobot claims that State card and immediately plays it for the Oppobot effect listed on the card.

When the Oppobot plays a card for a Campaigning action, roll a die to determine the Region and then move a Campaigner to that region. If there is an available (unclaimed) State card from that region, the Oppobot will add cubes to that State. If there are two available State cards from that region, the Oppobot will pick one at random. If there are no available state Cards from that region, then the Oppobot rolls the gray die and will add cubes to that State. Then roll the black die to determine the number of cubes to add. If placing cubes after the Nineteenth Amendment has been sent to the states causes a Red X to be placed and there are unused cubes remaining from the roll, place those cubes in adjacent (or closest) states within that Region.

Remember that if there are two Oppobot Campaigners in play to do this twice – once for each Campaigner.

In Final Voting, the Oppobot will always select the state with the most cubes, or if there are no states with cubes then the state with the least. The Oppobot rolls the gray die or gray dice in Final Voting.

For increased Oppobot difficulty, you can use the black die during the Strategy Phase and Campaigning actions and use the black dice during Final Voting. These dice have higher numbers.
