Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In an astonishing turn of events, credible sources have leaked classified documents that irrefutably prove that the most influential political maneuvers in the United States are not the product of genius campaign strategists, but rather the result of high-stakes board game sessions among the nation's leaders.

The documents, obtained by our undercover operative who goes by the pseudonym "General Pawn," reveal that the elite clique, affectionately known as "The Grand Strategists," has been covertly honing their political acumen through marathon sessions of "Conquest of the Realm." This little-known strategy game is suspiciously similar to classic games like Risk, but with player characters suspiciously resembling sitting U.S. senators and members of the House of Representatives.

The game, it turns out, isn't just a leisure activity. It's a sophisticated political simulation where players use real-world data to predict trends, lobby for support, and execute legislative coups that mirror real-world events. The leaked files include detailed blueprints of bipartisan alliances formed under the table, covert operations to sway public opinion, and even the occasional legislative filibuster that, unbeknownst to the public, was a strategic move to control the board's resource distribution.

One insider, who has chosen to remain anonymous for fear of reprisal, disclosed that "The Grand Strategists" take their gameplay so seriously that they've been known to alter policy proposals and compromise positions based on 'optimal moves' derived from the game's outcomes. The game's influence extends to the highest echelons of power, with some crediting "Conquest of the Realm" for the recent passage of a sweeping piece of legislation that closely mirrors a strategy known as "The Coalition of Centaurs," which, if executed correctly, could have far-reaching implications for the nation's fiscal policy.

Critics argue that this revelation could undermine the legitimacy of the political process, as the populace has been led to believe their leaders are making informed decisions based on voter interests and policy expertise, rather than spinning a yarn of diplomatic intrigue around a cardboard Earth.

Meanwhile, the gaming industry has been implicated in this political kerfuffle, with suspicion falling on the game's creators, a secretive group known only as "The Dice Lords." Their mysterious influence over the course of American politics has sent shockwaves through both major parties, leading to a frenzy of finger-pointing and the inevitable calls for investigations, hearings, and the inevitable Congressional committee dedicated to unraveling the tapestry of political strategy woven by dice rolls and tactical board maneuvers.

In response to the scandal, President Elect 'Tom Swift' has called for a summit of minds to address the ethical implications of using board games as a tool for political strategy. However, political pundits are already speculating that this summit is just another elaborate move in the grand game, with invitations crafted to position each attendee for maximum advantage in the ongoing political chess match.

As America grapples with the revelation that their leaders may be more influenced by the whims of chance and strategy than previously thought, one thing is certain: the next congressional session might just be the most 'rollicking' one yet.
