It's an American ritual that happens every 4 years. It's even more exciting when there is no incumbent president and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Worst of all, the decision is up to your fellow Americans (the ones who show up anyways). Brace yourselves and have a party because we're all screwed! The game card is below with a list of Buzzwords. Copy and paste it on to a sheet of paper, pass those pages out and laugh away. If you are having company, suggested items are also listed that can make a party more fun.
Laugh, cry, and have a get together because it maybe the end of days. If you are drinking alcohol, always drink responsibly. I am not responsible for alcohol poisoning, diabetes, or any other condition that you may develop, especially if this is a high scoring game. With the candidates, let's be honest, who really knows what's going to come out of either of their mouths. So know your limits and have fun. Most important, remember to laugh and laugh with your friends on this one.
