Unless you are a DC political science nerd or economist, playing this game is an exercise in watching Grant play the game through your hands. It's going to involve a lot of leaning over and letting Grant peak at your cards, and then seeing a twinkle of joy in the eyes of your oldest brother as he formulates the optimal strategy for your resources. I pulled off a win last game as we all rushed towards Berlin. Extra fun when Jacob brings you coffee and cracks history jokes the entire time. Definitely worth the extra weight in Grant's luggage anytime he comes to visit.

Colds used to be exciting as a kid. Your mom would make you soup and you would get the whole house to yourself during the day. You could play Xbox as long as you wanted, and if your cough sounded wet enough you would get the next day off of school too. As an adult, you just have to lay around feeling sicker than you ever felt as a kid. If you play the Xbox, you do it with the guilt of procrastinating working on all the make up work you'll have.
