A good try, but they’ll have to explain things in even more simple terms before enough Americans understand how screwed up our system is compared to every other Western nation-state.
Hmm, Dr. Mario under Medicare for all. It could be an MMO game where each person that is below a certain number of rows makes the game easier for anyone above a certain number of rows. Perhaps the optimal pills fall at a slow pace. There may be a frustrating delay though, between a button press and when the pill moves.
Remember Dr. Mario, the wildly popular Mario game that was essentially Tetris but with a transdimensional Italian plumber hocking pills in his new guise as a doctor?
And Craps and Catan are essentially the same because they both use dice.
But what if i have an NHS?
Is that like easy mode?
Luckily; if losing at this game is getting you down you can play Alternative Dr. Mario; where every tetromino promises to fit whatever gap you are trying to fill, regardless of shape; but none of them actually do anything.
Alas, I couldn’t find an option for “I live in a civilised country”, just a bunch of weird acronyms.
