The game works like regular chess; Donald Trump and Mike Pence are the Republican royalty chess pieces, while two Democratic pieces are blank.

Donkeys and elephants will serve as pawns – so let the battle begin!

Pros
This game is a limited edition set to commemorate a historic election during a year with unprecedented events: wildfires, murder hornets, and a pandemic! This set can be passed on from generation to generation with stories told about each political figure. Donald Trump was indicted! That’s going down in history books, and children will enjoy having a tangible representation of the story while hearing it.
Though the standard purchase comes with a cardboard set, you can upgrade that to a mahogany board for display purposes. You can also opt for your pieces to be a gold shade rather than silver because we know the Don loves gold!
Cons
Though the upgrades listed above are lovely, they can be pricey. The upgrade for the board cost one buyer $150, and shipping can take several months.
The pieces are plastic, not pewter, which makes them feel shoddy and causes some of them to bend upon pulling them out of the casing. The board itself felt flimsy as well, and some said it was not worth the cost.
Another issue is that this board game has not been endorsed by politicians or political parties, which makes it liable to legal problems. As customers, that does not create legal issues, but it does mean it could stop them from producing and selling the board game.
Customer service seems to be challenging to reach with this company, and many buyers have complained about the shipping time or the return process. Customers were either charged high return shipping rates and received very slow or no responses from customer service. They were also charged restocking fees, and some never received the refunds they were promised after ending their calls with customer service.
