Watergate is a 2019 board game published by Capstone Games. Players take on the roles of either Richard Nixon or the editors of various newspapers during the Watergate scandal, and play cards that could gain momentum, initiative, evidence or informant tokens. The Nixon administration wins the game if five momentum tokens are gained, whereas the editor wins if two informant tokens are connected, thus breaking the story. Watergate received positive reviews.
