Since it's 2020 and there is another election in America I've dusted this off and brought it out again this year. This is the original version of Invasion USA updated a little bit. I've included the rules on a word document rather than writing them here. Pretty much the same as Battle for Japan.
UPDATE: I've added a New Crown 2 version for 'He looks happy'. You use the START button to progress through the questions and answers. Question five is a little different. It is a trick question with three possible answers. Once they see the picture if you click on start again half will be covered. Click again and the other half will be covered. A third click shows the full picture and the final click brings up the answer.

Awesome set of lessons. I love it, and they love it.
I one of my schools I was lucky enough to find a huge dice, made of foam, about 20cm tall. At that school I cleared space in the middle of the room, and everyone can watch it roll when there's a challenge. They get crazy excited.
Glad they liked it. Great idea with the big dice. I should invest in one.
Idk about other peoples computers but dont try to add more teams/colors. My JTE asked if there could be 6 colors and it crashed while I was trying to add them haha.
Agreed. I find having the groups team up (2 blue teams, 2 red teams, 2 green teams, etc) works perfectly well and saves on clicking through so many colors.

As for the crashing issue with editing there is a trick to it when there are so many animations on one slide. In the object selection panel make every object unseen except the one you are working on. Once you've added the animation to it make it unseen and move onto the next one.
Even when the slideshow isn't playing the animations seem to cost processing power while editing but if the objects are unseen they don't appear to effect the performance. Once you're done close the animation panel, switch away from the animation menu and in the object selection panel make everything visible again.
Because of this issue when I'm making new question and answer banners I do it on a blank slide and then select all and add them to the game slide. Otherwise the slow performance drags the process out too long.
also remember to close the animation panel when running to slideshow otherwise it will effect performance. Don't know why but it does.
thanks for the advice! I'll give that a go!
