In Watergate, one player assumes the role of a [Washington Post] journalist, while the other embodies the Nixon administration — each with a unique set of cards. To win, the Nixon administration must build up enough momentum to make it to the end of the presidential term, whereas the journalist must gather enough evidence to connect two informants directly to the President. Of course, the administration will do all in its power to smother any evidence.
A history of Watergate is included with the game!

Watergate: Change in History is a pair of promo cards for Watergate that was originally given to attendees of the 2020 Camp Capstone virtual convention. Later available as part of Pack C from the Dice Tower 2021 Kickstarter campaign.
One card is for the Nixon player and the other is for the Editor player. If one game of Watergate follows another without the players switching roles, whichever player lost receives their promo card, with that card providing an advantageous action that may be used once at any point in the game.
The two cards are:
The Day After: Move 1 evidence token 2 steps.
Meet the Press: Move the momentum token 2 steps.
