this game sucks

My husband is writing this with me:
we just opened our Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone Trivia Game.
It sucks.
In so many different ways.
First, it's WAY too complicated - a pair of attorneys should be able to open
a board game labeled "ages 8 and up" and figure it out without reading all 4
pages of directions word for word.
Second, whoever decided to entitle one of the "categories" as "non magic
folk" instead of muggles should have his or her head boiled in one of
snape's cauldrons.
Third, the curse cards are made for playing the game with more than 3
people  - Aaron kept getting "curse" cards for answering questions
incorrectly (like what house was Terry Boot sorted into) and those curse
cards rebounded against me because they said that everyone in a house
selected by the cursed person had to pass their cards to the left - which
meant that he kept getting my cards! I started calling him "Malfoy" - that's
my new term for someone who you curse, but the curse rebounds against you
(like Ron with his broken wand)
Fourth, they made these "legend" cards but they don't *do* anything.

The questions themselves are fine, and with 3 or more players it would be a
less ludicrous game, and we're not *unhappy* that we bought it, but we
expected more - or at least something more coherent.
