Rank the Presidents
Every U.S. presidency is on the board: all 47 terms from Washington to Trump. Grover Cleveland and Donald Trump each appear twice, since they each served non-consecutive terms, so you can draft one term without getting stuck with the other. Then there are 13 fictional presidents, because Jed Bartlet would beat at least eleven real ones and we all know it. 12 drafters, 5 rounds, snake order, 60 items, 60 picks. Every single presidency comes off the board, so there are no leftovers and nowhere to hide. Build the best five-president administration you can. ONE RULE: You can only pick one fictional president!!!!

🏴☠️ MUTINY
DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES, BUT THIS DRAFT WILL.
⚖️ OFFICIAL VERDICT OF THE TRIBUNAL ⚖️
WHEREAS this draft, as constructed and supervised by THE COMMISSIONER, was (and the record will reflect this plainly) poorly built, loosely run, and by most honest accounts, a little bit amoral in its design;
WHEREAS the Crew sent reminder email after reminder email, each one funnier and sadder than the last, and still nobody could be compelled to pick another thing, not out of spite, but because there was, by that point, genuinely nothing left worth drafting for;
WHEREAS the very drafters THE COMMISSIONER was supposed to be serving looked at what had become of this draft and agreed, without much debate, that the blame sits squarely at the top;
THE CREW DOES HEREBY FIND THE COMMISSIONER GUILTY OF GROSS MISMANAGEMENT, BY A VOTE OF 7–2
SENTENCE: THE COMMISSIONER shall walk the plank, effective immediately, permanently, and as a matter of basic organizational accountability. Their name shall be etched into the Hall of Shame in authentic 8-bit font, where it will remain forever, for strangers on the internet to see and judge accordingly.
Let this be a lesson to future commissioners everywhere: a draft is a promise to the people who joined it. Build it, run it, and give them a reason to finish.
SO MUTINIED. SO RECORDED. SO BE IT. 🏴☠️
