On the one year anniversary of Donald Trump’s election win, two critics have come up with a way to play away the pain: a card game in which the aim is to put all of the President’s allies behind bars.
Called Conviction, the satirical game is now available for pre-order and ‘puts key public figures on trial in front of Lady Justice herself.’
Players — or ‘prosecutors’ — file motions and hold trials by tossing dice and flipping playing cards, trying to convict as many public figures in Trump’s inner circle as they can before the game is through.

Players get more points for convicting high-level figures, like Paul Ryan, Rex Tillerson, and Vladamir Putin.
Everyone tied to Trump is assigned a point value. Five-pointers include Jeff Sessions, Mitch McConnel, Steve Bannon, and Paul Ryan, while four-pointers include Mike Pence, James Comey, and Rex Tillerson.
Steve Mnuchin, Ted Cruz, John Kelly, and Paul Manafort each earn three points, while Kellyanne Conway, Melania Trump, Jared Kushner, Chris Christie, Sean Spicer, James Matthis, John McCain, Marco Rubio, a generic Fox News journalist, and Donald Trump, Jr. all get two each.
Rick Perry, Ben Carson, and Hope Hicks each earn one point.
Then, there are the figures who lose players points should they happen to convict them, like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and a ‘Nasty Woman’.
Each card is illustrated with a caricature — which, in the case of Trump’s team, are all unflattering.

The game is currently available for pre-order for $24.99, with orders placed before December 15 arriving before the holidays.
It’s the brainchild of San Francisco-based friends Dan Peterson and Neil Patel, who felt frustrated after the election last year.
‘As President-Elect Trump started discussing his Cabinet picks, Supreme Court appointments, policy agenda and White House Advisors, it became clear that this wasn’t a nightmare, but a reality that we may have to live with for the next four years,’ Peterson said in a press release.
‘We made Conviction to channel our own frustration, and provide an emotional release to those that play the game. And it’s fun and educational.’
‘After the election and through the inauguration, Dan and I would send news articles back and forth to each other, but it wasn’t productive,’ added Patel. ‘Making Conviction was cathartic and actually turned a negative situation into a positive.

‘We had a lot of fun and learned a lot bringing Conviction to life. It’s our hope that players do the same while contributing to organizations that are fighting the good fight.’
Peterson and Patel aren’t just poking fun, either — they’re putting money on the line. One-hundred percent of the profits from sales of the game will be donated to causes they say are endangered by Trump’s current and proposed policies.
They plan to donate to benefit affordable housing, affordable quality healthcare, campaign finance reform, civil rights, clean energy, climate change, education, environmental protections, financial regulations, gun control, LGBQT rights, net neutrality, and women’s rights.
‘So while you and your friends are having fun with legally dubious speculation at the expense of Trump and his close allies, you’ll also be giving money to the organizations that are leading the fight against his administration’s dangerous policies,’ Peterson says in a video for the game.

Quite a few companies have been using humor to take out their feelings of frustration with the president.
This year, the team behind the @F**kJerry Instagram account released a ‘Ride on Trump’ costume for Halloween, which was designed to make it look like the wearer is sitting on the president’s shoulders. The getup features a disheveled-looking Trump wearing a navy suit, a long red tie, and an American flag pin on the lapel of his jacket.
‘Hate Trump? Love Trump? Want to cry? This costume is for you!’ the site said of the $79.99 costume, which went on sale late this summer.
‘Haters can make fun of his scary face, s**t on him (figuratively), and express themselves with signs and other augmentations. While lovers can suit up and throw on a MAGA hat for a presidential Halloween,’ they explained.
There are also several Donald Trump dolls and action figures on the market, as well as sweatshirts and swimsuits baring unflattering images of his face.
