The download included 2 pages of the legislative branch and none for the executive branch. Also, items on the terms page were not labeled x2 and x3 as the directions claimed. Also, there are no real directions to speak of for students to follow to put the mobile together. An image of a completed mobile would be very helpful. Great idea - I'm hoping to make it work.

Excellent game. Some information was too technical for my class and needed slight adjustment. However, it was easliy done and much better than starting from scratch!
