They don’t need it, but the US government happily provides it.

Scratch a liberal, my friend, and you know the rest.

This person you’re discussing would’ve voted in New Jersey, which was overwhelmingly won by Harris. You’re totally discounting a valid frustration with Liberals who follow a politics of aesthetics instead of policy. Things probably will be much worse for the Palestinians with Trump, but there has been zero evidence the situation would’ve gotten any better under Harris. There’s been an ongoing genocide with no stop in sight for over a year and the US is actively funding it right now.

No, but I’ve heard it’s a classic!

Yeah, the game controls the fascist Falange/Carlists via Event Cards which happen every turn. The three player factions are Anarcho-Syndicalists, Communists, and Moderates. Each has their own priorities, but ultimately if you don’t work together the fascists will win. I highly recommend checking out some videos on it. The YT channel Homo Ludens has a Tabletop Sim play-through with the designer helping as they play.

I’m not Spanish, though did just visit!

• The Toledo War - Two player Schotten-Totten style fun, quick card game from Amabel Holland @ Hollandspiele about the historical conditions of Michigan becoming a state. Was the free game giveaway for their 2019 Holiday Sale. Played a couple rounds before everyone arrived.

• Land and Freedom: The Spanish Civil War - Three players (max). Currently, my favorite game. The Semi-Cooperative nature of it is fantastic. You have to work together with your political opponents to defeat the fascists. Unfortunately, we lost at the beginning of Year 3 this round.

• 7 Wonders Duel - Two players. First time playing, but neither of us cared much for it.

• Cat in the Box: Deluxe Edition - Two player variant. First time playing with only two. Usually love this game, but there aren’t enough interesting things going on in the two-player version in my opinion and probably will stick to 3+ players from now on.

Love Heat. Have played through a 4-player campaign (3 races I think?) and want to play more.
