- Make the bacon and secure the bag with your buddy best pal Donald Trump! Is the game good, or does it reek bad? I have no idea!
Apologies for the echo on this one, I'm attempting to move because the Rap Rat won't pay rent and he busted up my microphone in protest. We should have it sorted out by the next one.

Hey Kam, let's make a video on that Donald Trump Board Game!
Surely nothing completely insane will happen the day before it's scheduled to release!
I can't believe that happened lmao.
it's like that guy who made a diorama of a submarine exploring the titanic 4 days before the titan implosion
honestly? maybe the funniest way for a video to be delayed
Clearly the USPS is in on this.
Maybe it was a coincidence
Maybe you are a modern day Nostradamus
So wait, there's a card, used to beat out a different card that usually means you lose, and it's the only one that can do that, and it's in a game about a guy named Trump... and it's called a DONALD card?
Pain.
It had to've been on purpose.
DORO! DONALD CARDO!
It's simultaneously such a genius and infuriating move in equal measures
THE Donald card! Don’t forget the THE!
USPS cooked with that package delay
What were they planning
@@kamsandwich I'm telling you: TRump..... ilumiati.... Target... USPS... all connected.......

This upload timing is probably the most insane timing ever possible.
I think the video “A Guy Changing His Mind About Killing the President” on the channel CharactersWelcome that was uploaded at 2:40PM yesterday beats this one by a bit
That said, TWO videos uploaded in close proximity to The Incident™️ is impressive by itself
@@Xenephos there's also solidjj's video "joker gets political", made less than 2 hours before the assasination attempt
yesterday morning i was watching reruns of are you smarter than a fifth grader and one episode started with the contestant getting a shoutout from trump

Nah lmao
that was one crazy publicity stunt for the video man

I am 100% convinced that this board game is cursed and you're now in possession of a game haunted by a demon of silly timings

"go out and do something that will actually make an impact" it's been out for less than 4 hours, and still this quote's aged so poorly.
Oh he definitely would’ve taken this video down (or at least removed that part) if he was hit
It would have been way better if he had better aim
18:45 "go out and do something that'll actually make an impact somewhere"
Oof
Yeah that timing was pretty bad
Some guy thought that was a great idea
this entire thing was created for the “trump card” joke huh
And that didn't even happen
@@PrimMashups The thing that can accurately be called a Trump Card is called a Donald Card.
@@hiomanit is actually genius that they called their Trump card The Donald
Trump "joke-tipped" customer service workers with that fake money for years.
this might be a "shot in the dark" but you can say his board game was a "near miss" with the broader audience.
💀
I would rather play Russian roulette
😅
I think the audience was the intended target...
i see what you did there
I'd like to see Monopoly Cheaters Edition and Ms. Monopoly in the tournament just for their crimes against railroads
Monopoly as a reflection of America’s relationship with the railroads would be an interesting study
Real
I think MCE might have a better shot because of how many more steps you'd need to take in altering it in order to make it playable
@@1Piddswhat, not using UCM?
Isn't there also a Monopoly Socialism Edition? not sure if it has been covered
I'm honestly shocked as to how well this replicates the high level commercial real estate industry. Property values are a mystery, people's cash reserves are hidden, everything is a risk and a dingle wrong purchase could spell the end. Some tweaking to the auctioning and this could be a really intensive economics game.
Well... yeah. This is Trump. Did you think he made his billions twiddling his thumbs? He lives this every day and loves doing it. Of course he was going to make sure it was accurate.
@Zogger568 agreed. I was actually impressed at how it innovates the basic economics of things like monopoly. Just scrap the roll and move and replace it with worker placement, a random deck, or action card play, and this is a real modern contender. All for a celebrity tie in mass market game from the 80's?! This might actually be a contender for the best of that genre and even decade. (Pending an actual play. I just bud in it on ebay.)
Maybe use coins instead of paper money....
I honestly like the idea of being able to sell your cards to other players that's a really interesting mechanic
dingle
Seriously. I kinda hate how this game seems like it would be really fun to play lmao
18:39 aged like milk.
On second thought let's not do that
Aged like this board game
Literally, because it was probably filmed and uploaded in the time it takes for milk to go off. Editing takes a while, after all
@@kamsandwich Which is sad, because it's actually a really good take. Just... not like that.
@@kamsandwichnothing wrong with going out and doing something. Just not THAT lol
I was dreading this reveiw turning into political postering, but instead i got an actual reveiw! Thank you Kamwich! (The timing is definitely rough tho)
Kam's one of the good ones. This video confirms it.
What mystified me is to how it didn't really sell well. Then again, who knows.....maybe the price was set too high?
*reVIEW
I feel like if they just dropped trump from the title no one would actually have a problem with the game seems kinda fun
Yeah, but it would be weird playing the long beloved ": the game"
Its not that good of a board game. But thats kinda the risk if you make any celebrity or politican the face of a board game. All the Bill Cosby ones aged pretty badly after all.
Yeah, calling the game “Billionaire”, “Realty Race” or something like that would make the game a lot more fun.
@@donovanjimmyvasquezmolinar9648 Fuck. You made me lose "the game"
@@donovanjimmyvasquezmolinar9648 I lost "The Game". Thanks
16:30 KAM DONT STAND AT THAT PODIUM KAM NOOOOO
I hate to get political, but I think the reviews evaluating who trump is as a person instead of the quality of the board game are kinda dumb.
We got quite a few goobers out there for sure
It's absolutely dumb. It would be like not calling the Vanilla Ice Electric Rap game a masterpiece just because you prefer Eminem
Tip: if you want legit reviews of the game itself, make sure the date is before 2016. This game has been around since the 80s.
Same on boardgame geek, the reviews on it only become reviews of Donald Trump himself by 2016.
Speaking as someone who doesn't like Donald Trump in the slightest, I agree. I respect the idea of "well I can't enjoy the game because I don't like who it's themed around", but it's insane a game designed in the 80s is being used as a modern day political talking point just because they didn't anticipate a celebrity would become president, and people review everything as if it came out last week regardless of how old it is.
"I'm rating this high to own the libs!" "I'm rating this low to dismantle the MAGA agenda!" You are ALL wasting your time and aren't capable of enacting real change so you just rattle the bars of your cage to feel like you have control.
That’s the opposite of political.
as the first person to watch it i must say it is a good video however USPS did you bad by delaying the video by a week
@@CathyDotUK So many things tried to stop this video from being made
Could you imagine if it wasn’t delayed? People might actually blame him for the incident
Fun fact is that i saw this boardgame on a random toy's store for like 100 euros in 2019, i live in Spain so i have no idea how that even got there
100 euros?! That’s a lot.
A prime collectible
I'm in a weird spot where my parents owned the game for some reason, and I learned about the game when I was 8 (though it was because we were getting rid of it, and none of us had played it), yet I hadn't learned about Trump the person, so I learned about the game before the person.
So was 2016 like seeing Mr. Monopoly run for president?
@@nataliestruve9736 Actually, I only learned about it when we got rid of it, and I didn't realize that it was about Trump until I saw a video about it. I had thought that it referred to a trump suit, such as in trick taking games, many of which involve bidding, the only thing I remembered from the brief explanation.
And even then until 2015 you would have learned things about Trump everyone has forgotten.
Wasn't Trump universely liked until he took a escalator down in 2016 @@OdaSwifteye
@@patrickreville4978he was seen as just another rich guy that people would get confused with Warren buffet or bill gates. People were pretty neutral on him
**tugs collar, pats down sweaty brow**
"yeeeeeeeeeeee"
Now that's what I call a close call
SO it was *YOU*! You ordered the hit, so your video will gain more views. It's all coming together.
*slaps desk*
What do you have to say for yourself, Mr. Sandwich?
🤔
If that was true, it didn't work. 6,100 views in 3 hours, fell off
He did say go out and do something that'll make an impact.
I was uninterested until the secret money came in. That's honestly a really neat idea and shows some genuine design chops behind the game. Honestly wouldn't even mind trying to fit that into monopoly, makes everything far more interesting as it can prevent a feeling of hopelessness or inevitability when you see someone with stacks on stacks.
Yeah it's like the real experience! You can get to take as much money you want and you leave the board banker broke, and you get to call it fake news.
It's great for a board game, but it also provides for an unpleasant insight into the personality of the chief designer. But then how do we know if Trump did design it?
"Every review followed the same pattern: Every positive review seemed to be doing it just to 'own the libs', and every negative review seemed to be doing it just to 'thrash the MAGA agenda'. So, after wasting my time there, I just ended up deciding, 'Forget it! _I'll figure it out myself'."_
You're doing the Lord's work, Kam!
... Not, uh, one of his more... _important_ jobs, but really, the audience appreciates the effort.
I still blame rap rat for the 2008 financial crisis
As the rodent deserves
I own the first edition of this board game and have played it many times. I honestly think it’s unironically a better property trading game than monopoly despite the controversial figure attached to it.
Restoration Games has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever
That's really not the most difficult achievement in board gaming history tbh, there have been so many games that can be pretty reasonably described as "Monopoly but better". Even No Rolls Barred's Monopoly But series, created for entertainment rather than for player fun, has what I'd consider multiple homebrewed entries into that list.
That's a low bar to Ross, Monopoly is a really bad game. Dune, Gale force nine, now there's a great game.
BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump Re-Releases the trump game! Nothing else has happened!
as timing goes, this has gotta be one of the wildest.

Holy Shit LMAO
Who has school in July?
@@redben1252 alas, i am indonesian 😔
Sometimes, the universe winks at you.
Edit: Another alteration of the game rules between this and the original release is the omission of the "Force the sale of any property" space. This space could target owned properties and open them to further bidding rounds.
one of the greatest upload dates in the history of upload dates, possibly ever- many people, many people are saying this
Vanilla Ice deserves a second chance on the WBGOAT
4:42 wink at the camera
While wearing sunglasses.
Hahaha
The worst part is I can see the wink.
Officially requesting Candyland get another shot at glory in the tournament, might be how "popular" it is with (very) young audiences but for the life of me I don't get how that game has stuck around for so long when it isn't even a game, just a card flipping simulator to see who randomly is declared the "winner"
I guess you can say USPS made you miss your original upload date.
What does USPS mean by this
United States Postal Service
If you'd like to see another review that was not colored by who Trump is now, check out the Flip The Table podcast. They reviewed the game back in 2012, long before he was starting his run for any kind of office. They still called it bad, but it wasn't because of the theme, they legitimately didn't like it. It also didn't end up as their "worst game of all time" (I think Lost: The Game got that distinction by the end of the show's run).
As it stands now, the hosts don't even like to talk about the episode of the show, but they're keeping it up for posterity.
In Soviet Russia, table flips you!
Flip The Table also reviewed the Vanilla Ice game alluded to near the start of the video.
Flip the Table was an amazing podcast. If anyone is interested in funny reviews of bad games (which you probably are if you are watching this video), I highly recommend them.
Not sure if it's my cup of tea,, but I'll give it a shot
It might just turn your head.
Thanks for covering this without the bias, I'm relieved to know it isn't just another crappy tie-in game.
Huh, did not expect to see you in this channel. Glad to see you still making poops! (Of the RUclips variety of course)
- I get into your channel within the past week after discovering the tournament.
- I start going through some of your other videos about terrible board game themes and mechanics.
- I wake up to find this.
- Timing. I found your channel before this, but I can already guess what's going to happen if this video goes viral.
It's always really interesting to see a board game you'd expect to be bad actually turn out alright mechanically.
I can't remember if it was in the last tournament, but I recently rewatched the rants by Massacre's Mansion about Monopoly Cheater's Edition, and I think it definitely deserves to be a part of it.
18:40 great timing with this one 💀
Let's not listen to my advice this time
@@kamsandwich So how would you suggest we do political activity now?
The Avalon Hill classic Outdoor Survival definitely needs to be in the next worst board game competition. Any game where players wander in the wilderness guided by random die rolls while they slowly die of hunger or thirst has got to be up there as the worst of all time
A game I've heard of not because of its gameplay, but because its map was recommended for use in wilderness encounters in the original dungeons and dragons pamphlet [when the TTRPG was still partially a Chainmail hack]. This recommendation generally resulted in a lot of D&D games in the 70s using the outdoor survival hex map as the map of the starting area. It's one of the most well-used [if not completely as intended, D&D had its own rules for exploration and survival even at this point] hexmaps in gaming.
Honestly, if the obnoxious branding were cut, the game seems like a potentially pretty fun time.
"A small loan of 500 million dollars" lol
"I'll figure it out myself"
Doing his own research to inform his beliefs instead of blindly believing what others say, already smarter than most political activists
Well, this is the most unfortunate timing for a scheduled upload ever.
*fortunate
Kam's got the timing of Lee Harvey Oswald with this release.
Rapid speed and excellent discipline.
18:11 Thank you for saying that.
The craziest thing about this game. It actually is surprising how on point for how wacky the big real estate market works. I remember playing this with my family back during the first edition and it was more fun the monopoly for us.
Im very happy you kept your personal politics, whatever they may be, out of the video. Its a difficult thing to find nowadays, and has earned you a fan my friend (on top of the excellent content of course).
I wish to see valefisk's nightmare boardgame. I think it was unfairly eliminated just because... Actually, yeah, it's elimination was fair. I must say, though, it would be interesting to see how far it could go in the tournament.
If it could just get a public release, it'd be on there so fast
@@kamsandwich just for reference, does a game being on Tabletop Simulator count as an official release or does it have to be physical?
@@GamersHolyArmyI feel like if we counted digital only games on stuff like TTS we could’ve doubled the bracket size
You're brave for deciding to post this today.
Incredibly brave.
Surely we can keep the conversation on solely the board game itself, right?
*Right?*
Surprisingly the comment section has been decent. No crazy political drivel, just board game discussion and of course pointing out the insane timing
I hope it stays that way forever.
@@somethingmaybe3858 It tends to happen when the content creator sets the tone right at the beginning. Correctly calling out cringe hate/love reviewing and then just playing the damn game is the best option. It's definitely interesting and I wonder if anyone can adapt the better aspects to other games.
finally, the unbiased journalism we really needed.
My brother once found this game at a garage sale or smth a few years back lol. He bought it cuz he figured it'd be funny to pull it out as a joke when he invited his friends over for game night!
All pre 2016 reviews of it seem to also amount to it being a "so bad its good" game
Very excited for the new tournament! Also thank you for legitimately adding to the overall culture of the internet and actually providing an useful review that points out pros and cons instead of just going on and on about the current state of affairs with the orange man.
Man, can't believe they made a whole board game about the guy from home alone 2
USPS is my favourite character on the kamsandwich channel i wish it was real 😔
Holy heck, the wild timing of this video...
That aside, good stuffs with going into the game and going out of your way to purchase it to give it a genuine review! Still enjoying your style of randomly yet casually throwing the box/pieces while explaining something, changing what's pinned up on your wall, and your general humor throughout these videos toooo c:
Would love to see Monopoly Cheater's Edition get into the bracket for the next worst board game tournament.
Honestly this does sound like a genuinely enjoyable time, it’s a better and more creative Monopoly due to the elements of secrecy and the banking aspect of each property. Shame it’s gonna be near impossible to play it with anyone due to the theme, cause I guarantee no matter who you’re with simply owning this game is going to start a political discussion, and nobody wants to deal with that at Game Night.
"Man a review on the trump board game. Kind of bad timing for the algrothim to show me this video. I wonder when it was uplo--"

"Oh"
I played this game in middle school with some of my friends. We played it because it was 2016 and we thought it was funny that it had become political. We never finished it but I remember it being fine.
IIRC there is a card in this game that overrides every other mechanic and HE DID NOT CALL IT THE TRUMP CARD
-3/10
Plot twist, he did. They're just ALL Trump cards!
A Trump game where you pay taxes is the least realistic aspect of it.
true lmao
Especially since it comes with actual consequences from going bankrupt.
The outrageous timing is something you just can't make up.
Add Qwirkle to the next WBGOAT tournament. I can’t see anyone over the age of 65 actually enjoying that game.
It’s a good game
Okay, I actually played Rap Rat with some friends, and it was legitimately a great time. We all loved the stupid puppet. We lost level 1, but won on level 2.
I just love the idea of anyone playing this just for the game 🤣
Trump is my role model guys! He's such a cool and mysterious gameboard developer! I wonder if anyone would harbor any animosity or even cause violence to such a cool guy!
In case people don't know, Trump used to be a businessman.
You know what? I think I'll buy this game. Surely nothing could go wrong.
This is probably the fastest a video has ever not aged well.
so a solid board game weighed down by what might be the most polarizing theme of our time, interesting... still don't plan on getting it, but it's interesting...
Funny timings aside, it's disgusting when people forget about fun because of politics.
I found the "Art Of The Deal" version at a thrift store once and picked it up because I'd heard this game was utterly ridiculous. Turns out it's just so middle-of-the-road that it isn't worth thinking about.
...by the way, you thought WDYM was dated? Think RPS was pointlessly throwing a price tag on something? You're right, but why not get both with Edge Innovations' Bottle Flip: The Board Game! Now yours for only $29.95!
Oh goodness sakes that's gonna be a dark horse for sure
Holy shit what?
As a joke you should add Mario Party to the worst board game tournament
With all the mudslinging happening across the entire political spectrum, it's surprisingly refreshing to see someone reviewing this board game as a board game and nothing else.
And with that marvelous timing, I'm sure this video won't stay out of earshot for long. Okay, I'll see myself out now.
"ow my ear is bleeding, this video is a hit or miss" - Donald Trump (2024)
Indeed, throughout this video, my thoughts are...
...wait, this sounds good and kinda fun? Now I wanna play a version without some stupid president on it!
just switch everything to elon and you're good to go
@@benshiotsu8553Who knows how Elon’s personal image will age in twenty years
It feels like it'd be fairly easy to genericize it into a game about competing real estate moguls, or maybe about feuding potential heirs to a conveniently Trump-shaped (though perhaps with a kinder, more jovial reputation), soon-to-be-retiring billionaire real estate magnate, to allow us to keep the tips on cards and give an easy equivalent to the lockout-overturning "The Donald" cards, but I wouldn't know how all the copyright and patent hoo-ha works with board game rules and systems.
@@benshiotsu8553 Elon is even worse at least Trump hasn't explicitly said he believes in the great replacement... yet.
@@benshiotsu8553 New mechanic - you have to take credit for every achievement one of your properties makes, and if you don't, you must auction it back off.
Not gonna lie , as someone that hates monopoly, the whole not knowing what is inside the bank gimmick sounds cool
People that cant separate the person from the game sucks. You are my new hero.
Honestly, i didn't know trump even had a board game.
If this had released only a day sooner, perhaps trump would've been too busy watching CamSandwich to go to that rally.
I had one of these but someone scratched it and now it's the only thing I can talk about
I am SURE the only reason this game was made is to make the "trump card" pun
The problem with this game is that every card is a trump card, so nobody can win.
The reviews had the date when they were placed so you could have searched for reviews before 2015 in order to get a more accurate estimation
It slowly creeped on me as you talked about this game that is not awful, having secret money and using your intuition, cards and tracking in order to get ahead seems fun, I would play this game... in an online simulator with friends.
4:39 Kam is showing us he is a bipartisan man by also doing his best impression of Joe Biden reading instructions off the teleprompter.
I fucking shrieked with laughter at just the TIMING.
Also the video itself is great
I was interested in buying this board game but I bet the prices have shot up but honestly I doubt anyone's gonna pay that much for a board game, the sellers really shot themselves in the foot with that one
After Cinemassacre ended Board James, I've needed something to fill that absence.
I have found this channel does that. Thanks.
Monopoly Cheater's Edition should definitely be a candidate for the worst board game tournament, it's worse than Ms.Monopoly in every way because it barely functions as a game.
god, remembering the handcuff... nightmare boardgame
ah yes the board game where having big wrists is against the rules
in a themed game, the accuracy of the theme is apt to assess
- his advice is savvy?
- you can't lie??
- "you're fired" is a non-sequitur to the bidding thing
- each participant starts with equal chance
- no molestation function
+ self-promotion to a numbing extent
+ ostentatious wealth
+ ruthless
+ luck-based
+ you go bankrupt
- you pay tax
+you get to lie about the value of property's.
Why would it be accurate to assess the theme of the board to present day themes about Trump when back then most of these were either unknown or no one cared in addition to other things being more relevant to Trump's public persona?
@@juliangingivere I think you're underestimating what was already known about him/capitalism. I think you're trying to undermine the humour of my comment, but I can play ball if you're willing: which of these bullet points describe Trump in ways that weren't public knowledge at the time of the reissue board game shown?
I recognise that he's achieved much broader notoriety since, and there's a lot more public conversation online now, but I think the bullets hold up.
I'm not sure I even need them to be well-known elements for the concept that they'd be appropriate parts of a themed game, though.
I would like to nominate the board game eldritch horror for being one of the most complex games I’ve ever seen
One of Adultery's little siblings would feel right at home in the sequel tornament. After all, their big bro won last time!
tbh I kinda like the blind auction mechanic as a board game mechanic
