Trump can’t run again. It’s very simple. If he does it’ll be struck down by the Supreme Court. If they don’t there won’t be much left of the US constitutional order. In addition, he’ll likely be too old and too unpopular to run in 2028 even if he were constitutionally able.

I’m quite intelligent. But this game has two pages of instructions - with five lines of ‘preparing to play’ that took me 15 mins to understand. Each player has a two-page how-to-play sheet that is frankly baffling. And there is an online how-to-play explainer vid. The game loses its raison d’être.
