"Secret Hitler" board game adds Trump administration booster pack

They will say whatever it takes to get elected, enact their agenda, and blame others for the fallout. The liberals must work together to discover the truth before the fascists install their cold-blooded leader and win the game.

They just introduced new cards "featuring Donald Trump and prominent members of his administration," also drawn by Schubert.
