Obama / Nobama

A trick-taking game centered around US politics. Each card represents a controversial and/or humorous issue being discussed on 24-hour news stations, and tricks represent gathering the most viewers (via making the most controversial statements) at different time slots. Instead of conventional bidding, players select their true party (hidden) and their apparent party (visible). Each party offers different scoring incentives and different special powers, and players sometimes have the option to switch parties.
