skills and bluffing come into play. The highest bidder wins that state with the amount of his bid (votes) going to the player who landed on the state space as payment. Politics — this allows the player to earn a "politics" card. These cards allow a player to do things like steal a state from another player, stop a game action, steal vote cards, or gamble (in which he pits one of his states against an opponent's state of equal or lesser value; both players roll the dice with the highest roll winning both states). Secret Ballot — this space puts the next state from each region up for a blind auction with the winner getting all 4 states. Open Ballot — this allows a player to put any of another player's states that he already won back up for auction among all players. Fly Anywhere — allows the player who landed on this space to move his token to any space on the board. Victory conditions When ownership of the last state has been decided, the player with the most electoral votes is the winner. Reception In the March 1989 edition of Games International (Issue #3), Alan R. Moon criticized the game's lack of originality, saying, "Pretty basic stuff here. You could probably find other earlier (and later) games from Parker Brothers with exactly the same play mechanics." Other games called Landslide In 2004, Ezakly published a board game, also titled Landslide, that was unrelated to the Parker Brothers game in either appearance or game mechanics, having a Monopoly-style track around the perimeter of the board.
