Trump Starts Trade War, Gets Barred From Family Catan Night

Trump Plays Catan

It’s Trade-War Tuesdays at Trump Tower, or as lay people might describe it, ‘family board game night’. For the Trumps there’s only one board game in town and that’s the king of cutthroat capitalistic conniving. No, not Monopoly, the Trumps only play Catan.

The classic German trading game is only 4-player, but you know the Trumps forked out for the 6-player expansion long ago. Obviously, that’s still not enough for the whole gang, Donald, Melania, Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eris, Tiffany, and Barron (not a real baron) so normally they just don’t invite Tiffany.

But this week, Tiffany is now a welcome guest because, for the first time, Donald Trump has been barred from his own family Catan night.

It all began last Tuesday when Melania was in desperate need of sheep but her only source was her loving husband. Melania needed just three more sheep to give her the resources to upgrade her towns to cities and earn enough victory points to win the game. Donald knew this and as the sole producer of sheep, he held all the cards… sheep cards.

Trump Remains Sheepish On Trade

Trump refused point blank to trade. No matter how persuasive Melania’s puppy eyes were, Trump would not cave. This significantly soured the mood of the normally jovial game. Don Jr., who also needed sheep (not to build anything, just because he likes sheep) was also iced out. The rest of the children didn’t really need sheep and just wanted an excuse to talk to Dad. But all they could get out of him for the rest of the game was an angry, ‘no’.

Things took another turn when Eric pointed out that this way, no one would win. In fact, Donald still needed the brick resource to complete his longest road. The only way for everyone to get along and for the game to continue would be if they all started trading again. This was met with another curt ‘no’ and a threat to build a wall around Eric’s tiles.

Eventually, Melania caved. She gave Donald the brick he needed, but at the much lower trade of just one sheep. Melania could not complete her cities. Donald, however, was able to smugly steam ahead with his longest road, a beautiful road, and win the game.

And THAT is why, Donald has been barred from all future family Trump Tower Catan nights. So, who’s the real winner here, hmm?
