Watergate is the short-hand name for the political controversy that brought down the Nixon Administration. This Watergate is a card game from 1973 in which two to six players accuse each other of malfeasance and try to deceive each other. Bribery is not only permissible but encouraged. Everyone loses, but some players lose more than others.
The key to success in this game, as in so many other dimensions of life, is to lie persuasively.
In this video, Board Game Archaeology unpacks and plays this game.
