Votes for Women | Review and How to Play

I certainly like Votes for Women quite a lot as I happen to be a big fan of card driven, historical games. The rules are clearly presented and there's good amount of options the suffrage and anti-suffrage player can take in a given turn. I also feel the addition of the replica documents in the box to be a nice touch too. Where I have a bit of a problem is the balancing between the two factions; after repeated plays, it really comes across as the anti-suffrage faction being behind the eight ball nearly all the time. In other words, the gameplay is skewed in favor of the suffrage movement quite a lot. Suffrage was a foregone, eventual conclusion in the U.S. anyway - so I can see the game leaning in that direction - but it's the balancing and replayablity of the game which suffers for it. Still, a very good game I can highly recommend, even with the balancing issue.
