Frequently Asked Questions

What is Don's Cons?

Don's Cons is a free suite of Trump-themed party games you play in your browser with friends. The namesake game, Don's Cons, is a judge-picks-the-best-card game in the style of Cards Against Humanity; 2 Lies and a Trump is a bluffing game where you write fake Trump quotes and try to spot the real one. Every card and quote is grounded in something Don actually did or said.

Are the games really free?

Yes — completely free, no ads, no accounts, no paywall. If you enjoy them you can support us through the Support Don's Cons store, but you never have to.

Do I need to download an app?

No. Everything runs in the browser on any phone, tablet, or computer. One person starts a game, gets a 6-character room code, and everyone else joins with that code — like Jackbox, but free and with more grift.

How many players do I need?

Both games need at least 3 players and support up to 10. Short on humans? You can add bots to fill out the room.

Can we play remotely, or do we have to be in the same room?

Either works. Games sync live over the internet, so your friends can join from anywhere — same couch or another country. For remote games, hop on a call together and share your room code or invite link.

Is Don's Cons like Cards Against Humanity?

The rhythm is the same: each round one player is the judge (the Reporter), everyone else plays the funniest card from their hand, and the judge picks a winner. The difference is the content — in Don's Cons, the prompt is a snarky press question about a real Trump scandal, and every response card is a real-style Don quote. If you like Cards Against Humanity, you already know how to play.

How does 2 Lies and a Trump work?

Each round everyone gets the same topic — say, wind turbines — and writes a fake Trump quote about it. The fakes get shuffled in with one quote that paraphrases something Trump actually claimed. You score points for finding the real one and for tricking other players into voting for your lie. After each round you get the real story behind the true claim, with the facts.

Are the Trump quotes real?

The "truth" in every round of 2 Lies and a Trump paraphrases a claim Donald Trump actually made — windmill cancer, the invisible F-35, raking the forests of Finland, all of it — and each round ends with a short fact-check explaining what he said and what the record shows. The decoys are the fakes. That's the game: his real statements are hard to tell apart from parody.

Where can I see the sources?

On The Receipts — every prompt card in the Don's Cons card game, each backed by cited reporting from outlets like CNN, NPR, The Washington Post, Forbes, and PBS. When someone at the party says "that can't be true," that page is your answer.

Is this affiliated with Donald Trump?

Absolutely not. Don's Cons is independent political satire and parody. No affiliation, no endorsement — read A Note from Nate and Fred for why we made it.
