Trumped Up Cards is a party game that's so, so easy to play. Every round, players use their White answer cards to respond to a Blue question card. The best response wins the round. Then, the process repeats itself, until the player with the biggest brain and the most strength and stamina wins the game. No recounts allowed!! 550 total cards: 420 white answer cards 90 blue question cards 40 Trump Cards, which give players special and often unfair advantages to alter game-play in fun, surprising, and dramatic ways OFFICIAL RULES 1. First, all players must thoroughly sanitize their hands with Purell. Then, they should pledge their loyalty to Trumped Up Cards: The World's Biggest Deck by raising their right hands and saying, Believe me, folks, this deck is so yuuuge, you won't believe it! People all over the world are talking about it! 2. Then, each player draws ten very clean White Cards. 3. The player with the greatest net worth begins as the Card Evaluating Officer (CEO). 4. The CEO must say, I'm really rich, and make a dismissive hand gesture. Then, the CEO selects a fantastic Blue Card from the top of the deck and reads its text out loud. 5. Each player chooses a White Card that best answers or completes the Blue Card, then passes it face down to the CEO. 6. The CEO shuffles the answers and shares each card combination with the group. The CEO then chooses the most tremendous response. The player who submits the winning answer receives that hand's Blue Card. All Blue Cards have a letter on them. These letters are very, very important, so unless you're a fool or a loser, pay attention to them! 7. After the round, a new player becomes the CEO, and everyone, even the stupid losers, draws another White Card to maintain an inventory of ten. The new CEO puts a new Blue Card into play, and the game continues as described in steps 5 and 6. 8. On both White Cards and Blue Cards, you will occasionally see a footnote. Footnotes do not impact game play. We include them to provide more context regarding quotes and other information that is cited or alluded to on these cards. 9. There are a subset of White Cards known as Trump Cards. Trump Cards have larger-than-average powers that players can use to obtain a strategic advantage during a hand. Trump Cards are usually played in combination with a standard White Card. At the end of a hand, a player who has used a Trump Card in combination with a White Card will need to draw two White Cards to maintain an inventory of ten. See below for additional information about how specific Trump Cards work. 10. Breaking the rules at any time is okay, as long as you can persuade a simple majority of players that what you are doing will help make America a more amazing place to live than China, Mexico, or even Japan! 11.There are two ways to play the game to conclusion: FOR BIG LEAGUE PLAYERS The game ends when a player can spell V-O-T-E using the letters on the Blue Cards he or she has won. DC Gridlock variation: At the beginning of a Big League game, players can decide if they also want to add the DC Gridlock variation. Here's how it works: When a player spells V-O-T-E as described above, the other players can block him or her, if collectively they have won enough Blue cards to spell V-E-T-O. If they can, those players can eliminate one of the Blue Cards the other player has used to spell V-O-T-E, thus blocking his or her win. Players who successfully apply a veto must discard the Blue Cards they used to do so after applying it. Play continues until someone can successfully spell V-O-T-E without getting vetoed by the other players. FOR TOTAL LIGHTWEIGHTS The game ends when the majority of the players grow so depressed at the prospect of a real Trump presidency that they just start quietly sobbing. In this scenario, the player who possesses the most Blue Cards at this point is the winner. Whichever version you play, all the stupid losers have to call the winner Mr. Trump for the rest of the evening. In addition, the winner is allowed to run for president (assuming he or she can persuade RNC Chairman Reince Priebus that there truly is no saner option). TRUMP CARDS Deport an opponent's answer! This card lets you eliminate an opponent's White Card. Play this card after the CEO reads all the responses for a hand, but before he or she selects the most tremendous response. You should play this card when you think your White Card is the second best answer in a hand. By eliminating the competition, your White Card may then become the most tremendous. Impose a 45 percent tariff! This card lets you impose a 45 percent tariff on the White Cards your opponents submit during a hand. In other words, their responses must be 45 percent more tremendous than your own response. If none of them are, you win the hand. Who decides if a response is 45 percent more tremendous than yours? Your gut. Declare White Card bankruptcy! Discard five White Cards you don't like, plus this Bankruptcy card, and select six new White Cards to replace them. Play this card before submitting a White Card for a hand. Once you have your new cards, you must submit a White Card for that hand too. Play the woman card! This card lets you dismiss any female player's answer during a hand, for no good reason. If you like, you can also use this card against feminist men too, or any man who feels ethically ambivalent about beauty contests. So sue me! Use this card to challenge any player who performs an action you think is unfair or unethical. If the majority of other players agree with you, that player must sit out a hand. If they don't, you have to sit out a hand. Tilt the playing field! Use this card to play two White Cards in a single hand, thus increasing your chances of winning. When the hand is over, draw three new White Cards to maintain your inventory of ten. Invoke eminent domain! After a hand is completed and the CEO has chosen a winning Blue Card, you can use this card to seize that card for yourself. (This is useful if the winning Blue Card features a letter you need to complete the word V-O-T-E.) After you play this card, draw one new White Card to maintain your inventory of ten. Go off script! Use this card to submit your own original answer instead of using a White Card. If you have a Dry-Erase marker, you can write your answer directly on the card. If you don't, simply write your answer on a small sheet of paper and submit that. At the end of the hand, draw one new White Card to maintain your inventory of ten. Eliminate liberal bias! This card lets you exclude the player sitting to the left of you from a hand. Play this card after the CEO reads the text of the hand's Blue Card, but before players submit their White Cards for the hand. Reframe the narrative! Use this card to force the CEO to replace that hand's Blue Card with a different one. Play this card after the CEO reads the text of the hand's initial Blue Card, but before players submit their White Cards for it.

Comprehensive?
Format: Paperback
I am a huge fan of Jay LaCroix and happy to support him by buying this book. That said, this book is in my opinion fully priced and not very comprehensive. My guess is it has more to do with Packt publishing and less to do with Jay. For sure, the content that is there is good and easy to consume ... as per Jay's style. And to be fair a truly comprehensive book would probably be another 1000 pages long. But a couple examples: cursory coverage of systemd:. eg discussion is on chron, crontab, etc instead of systemd timers. NTP server: if you have an Ubuntu server it would be great to set it up as your LAN NTP server for all your devices to sync time. Here is the coverage in this book "all servers should have the ntp package installed" Really? Do I need to disable systemd-timesyncd? Do I need to limit access by lan? How about setting up an Nginx reverse proxy for LAN services like unifi, pihole, etc? Sorry 3 pages of coverage. I am not trying to run down this book, only suggest that if you are looking for an authoritative comprehensive guide on Ubuntu 22.04, this probably will not be your only purchase. With all the foregoing, I would still buy this book if for no other reason than to support the author.

Very useful book on the latest Ubuntu distro
Format: Paperback
Disclaimer: Longtime follower and subscriber to Jay LaCroix’s YouTube site, Learn Linux TV. Several high quality authors (Jang, van Vugt, and Ghori the most well known) have been introducing new comers looking for more in-depth guides to Linux to the Red Hat world through their RHCSA Study Guides. The same cannot be said for Ubuntu. While books do exist for Ubuntu, they are too general in this reviewers opinion. A noted exception is Matthew Helmke. The other is Jay LaCroix. Mastering Ubuntu Server, 4th Edition by Jay LaCroix addresses Canonical’s latest Ubuntu release, 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish). Mr. LaCroix’s book follows the same outline as the RHCSA books of installation, user management, package management, navigating the file system through the terminal, command-line usage, up to and including storage and networking. These chapters lay a solid foundation for the rest of the book, and all but one chapter ends with a section for further viewing or reading which either point to Mr. LaCroix’s well produced videos on his YouTube channel, Ubuntu’s wiki, or to one of several informative websites. The YouTube videos are a good complement to the book, and also raise the bar for what we as readers should expect from other authors and publishers. The last part of the book was my favorite. Where as the RHCSA books are confined to the scope of the test they are aimed at, Mastering Ubuntu Server has no restrictions. Chapters covering the installation of databases (MariaDB), web servers (both Apache and Nginx), virtualization (QEMU/KVM), containerization (LXD and Docker), Ansible, AWS, and Terraform along with their corresponding videos (except for Terraform) create a comprehensive learning platform. Having worked through some of these chapters along with the videos, one does get up to speed much quicker in understanding while adding a new skill to their skillset. This is important in a competitive job market. I would recommend Mastering Ubuntu Server, 4 th Edition highly to anyone wanting something current for the 22.04 LTS distribution. Having said that, I do have some admittedly subjective criticisms. In the chapter on storage, the fdisk command is introduced for formatting and partitioning disks. In an industry where it is becoming less likely to install a hard drive of 2TB or less and manufacturers have 20TB hard drives in their product line, why not also introduce the gdisk command. My other criticism is directed at the virtualization chapter and its use of Virtual Machine Manager for KVM. I got my start working with KVM through the Virtual Machine Manager as well, but on the advice of a Systems Engineer I knew, transitioned to creating, configuring and managing all my VMs through the command-line only. I wished that the author pushed more in that direction. As I said, subjective opinions, and minor overall, for a well written book by Jay LaCroix.

I should have looked somewhere else.
Format: Paperback
Not very helpful. I wanted a book that would help guide me through setting up a web server. There should have been a more complete step by step guide comparing traditional methods with newer updated methods.
