"Hail to the Chief" is an educational game to teach children geography, history, the Constitution, and the electoral process. It is a multi-level game to allow children to play, expand their curiosity, and involve other members of the entire family. It is a particularly popular product during the election year. This product allows the child to travel around the outside of the board game and win delegate votes by landing on Presidents, answering questions on the Presidency and the Constitution.
As soon as they have a minimum number of delegate votes, players can hit the campaign trail. Once on the campaign trail, they move to the center of the board and travel from state to state. Players win electoral votes by answering questions on U.S. history and geography. The player who earns a minimum number of electoral votes and reaches the American Eagle first is the next President.
The president of the company, Jan Barney Newman, believes the game helps children to learn to be better future citizens and leaders of the country with more knowledge about the United States. Aristoplay makes a fine line of educational games.
