Trumpster Fire

What's this game all about?

Set five areas of democracy ablaze and seize total control

Trumpster Fire is a satirical board game of power, propaganda, and political survival — and it is unlike anything else on your game shelf. Or, in the store, for that matter. This is a one-of-a-kind game.

For 2 to 6 Players

Compete to become Supreme Chancellor of Planet Earth, using the same playbook that real authoritarian leaders have used throughout history: establish yourself as a strong, charismatic leader, spread propaganda to discredit opponents and erode democratic systems, sow civil division in your home country, exploit economic and political grievances by blaming a marginalized group, normalize government violence, demand supporters shift loyalty from principal to you personally, bury your secrets, and systematically undermine everyone who stands in your way.

Sound familiar? That's the point.

This is not a game of accusations. It is a mirror. By playing even once, you begin to recognize these in real life as strategies within an orchestrated plan. The playbook stops being invisible. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

Trumpster Fire is fun, fast, and fiercely competitive. It is also one of the most important conversation-starters you will ever bring to your table. The instruction booklet contains discussion questions for after play.

PROPAGANDA CARDS

PERSONAL LOYALTY CHECKS

Override truth. Shape public perception. Blend facts with engineered rhetoric. These cards let you rewrite the narrative — but overplay your hand and it backfires.

Card Example:

Campaign on your being the only person who can purge elitists from government while discrediting all your predecessors

1-2 = 2 steps back; 3-6 = 2 steps forward

PERSONAL LOYALTY CHECKS

Paranoia runs deep. Demand absolute loyalty from your staff, your allies, and even your rivals. A failed loyalty check can set you back — or expose someone else's secret.

Card Example:

You initiate a program to determine who senior civil servants on your security council voted for in your last election, political contributions, and social media activity. Those who resign are replaced with verifiable supporters.

Roll upon picking card

1-2 = 2 spaces back

3 = stay

4-6 = forward 3

ISLAND EXPRESS CARDS

Every aspiring world leader needs a private network. Deals are made, favors are traded, and personal liabilities can be managed, but only if you are ruthless enough to use them.

Card Example:

You are invited to meet a wealthy contributor at his island and are photographed witnessing illegal and unethical activities.

If exposed:

1-3 = back 3 spaces to invent cover story

4-5 = stay, no one seems to care

6 = assert fake photo, 1 space forward boost

DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS

ISLAND EXPRESS CARDS

Kept face-down in front of you at all times, your secrets are your greatest vulnerability. Guard them, weaponize them against your opponents, or weaponize your opponents' secrets against them.

Card Example:

Your “aid” bills that passed congress included payoffs to foreign officials at taxpayer expense to cover your involvement in money laundering schemes.

Keep this card as it may be later disclosed as a dirty little secret. If so:

1-3 = back

4-6 = stay

Return to deck when used

This game is about PATTERNS and not only a sitting U.S. President. It's about paying attention.

Most people living through a fascist takeover have not recognized it while it was happening. The people of Germany were not Nazis. The people of Italy did not know Mussolini would become a dictator. Authoritarian movements rise slowly, then suddenly, cloaked in chaos, inflated rhetoric, and the human tendency to believe it could never happen here.

"It could never happen here"

Does THAT sound familiar?

Trumpster Fire does not point fingers. It teaches patterns. When you play the propaganda cards, demand loyalty, and bury your secrets, you are playing a game while also learning to recognize those moves in the real world, wherever they appear, whoever is making them.

From the Game Creator

I created Trumpster Fire because I believe understanding how democracy erodes is not a partisan issue — it is a survival skill. This game exists to start conversations that matter, at tables where families, friends, and students can think critically together.

I hope it makes you think. I hope it makes you talk. And I hope it makes you harder to fool..

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at oldorchardpublishingllc@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Is this game political?

It is educational. Trumpster Fire uses satire and real historical parallels to show how authoritarian movements gain power — not to promote any political party or candidate. Discussion questions included in the game are designed to foster critical thinking, not debate.

Who is this game for?

Trumpster Fire is recommended for players 14 years and older. It is ideal for families, adults, classroom settings, book clubs, history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in civics, media literacy, or political history.

How long does a game take?

Game length varies by number of players. Most games run 60 to 90 minutes. With 6 players and full discussion, plan for up to 2 hours.

When will my game ship?

Our initial kickstarter order will be placed April 15, 2026. Plan on up to six weeks for game production and then it will ship. This is a brand new game and you will be getting one of the very first editions ever produced. Kickstarter backers will be updated throughout production. We are committed to transparency at every stage.

How much is the game?

Our Kickstarter price is $55 because of bulk pricing. Once it goes into production, it will be available by print on demand at a price of $74.99.

Is it safe for kids?

The game is rated for ages 14 and up. It contains no graphic violence or adult content., but the complexity of interrelated themes will challenge younger comprehension. It does contain political satire and mature themes including propaganda, political manipulation, and historical references to authoritarian movements. It is not appropriate for young children nor are they likely to find it interesting.
