PICS: Did you know Donald Trump had a board game? Well, he does and it’s shite

Think Monopoly, but a lot worse

The ego on this fella wouldn’t fit in Ireland.

Introducing Trump: The Game: “It’s not whether you win or lose, but whether you win!”

The game, which is a lot like Monopoly, but has Trump’s mug on the money and a T instead of six dots on the dice, was made in 1989 by Milton Bradley.

An updated version was then released 15 years later with the new improved catchphrase of “I’m back and you’re fired!”

The board has just 18 squares and the pieces are giant Ts.  According to the rule book, the object of the game is to make the most money, but how you do so is also interesting.

“If you are short on cash or don’t want to bid, you don’t have to. However, it is usually to your advantage to bid at least $10 million.”

The instructions for making a deal: “You cannot lie to another player or intentionally break a promise. Of course, some situations may be open to interpretation.”

The best part of the whole thing has to be this old school advert for the game starring, of course, Donald Trump.
