Chicago 1968

In August 1968 Democrats gather at their National Convention in Chicago to debate a platform for a deeply divided party. Factions are split over issues such as civil rights infrastructure and the war on poverty-not to mention the war in Vietnam. Meanwhile crowds of protesters descend upon the city. Impassioned antiwar demonstrators plan sit-ins and marches while the absurdist Yippies determined to make a mockery of the convention intend to nominate a pig for president. Journalists flood the area to cover the stories of the delegates and protesters. Over the course of this game players will develop a better understanding of the complexities of the social and cultural tumult that has come to be known as the Sixties.
