3–5 players 15 min rounds Ages 13+
What's in the box

Three card types. One messy debate.

Each round mixes Arguments, Fallacies, and Actions — so every hand plays differently. The arguments are ones you've heard in the wild.

Argument card back Argument card example

Argument · 21 CARDS

A short scenario, news clip, or claim. Read it aloud. Somewhere in there a fallacy (or two) is hiding. Spot it in real-time!

Fallacy card back Fallacy card example: Strawman

Fallacy · 21 CARDS

Strawman. Ad Hominem. Appeal to Nature. Slap down the fallacy you think is hiding in the Argument — then defend your call.

Action card back Action card example: The Challenge

Action · 12 CARDS

The chaos engine. Challenge a winner, steal a point, force a re-read. Play one at the right moment, the whole round flips!

HOW TO PLAY

15 minutes. It's easy.

If you can play Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity, you'll have this down in one round and be ruining your friend's arguments in no time. Sorry in advance.

1

Deal the cards

Everyone gets a hand of Fallacy and Action cards. Argument cards go in the middle.

2

Hot Seat reads

One player in the Hot Seat flips an Argument card and reads it aloud — dramatically, ideally with feeling.

3

Play your Fallacy

Everyone else slams down the Fallacy card they think is hiding in the argument (there can be more than one!).

4

Defend & disrupt

Argue your pick in 20 seconds. Object to your brother's pick. Drop an Action card, steal his point. Get loud.

5

Win the point

The Hot Seat decides who nailed it. The most points after 15 minutes wins the round. Play another round for a rematch!

WHO PLAYS IT

Made for you.

If any of these sound like you, Fantastic Fallacies is your game.

The party-game household

Game night is sacred. You've burned through the usual party games and worn out the crude-humor decks. You want something just as fast and funny — but a little smarter.

The homeschool family

Logic, rhetoric, and critical thinking that doesn't feel like a textbook. Drop it into the day, pull it out at dinner. The kids don't realize it's the curriculum.

The sharp-minded crew

Logic teachers and students. Debate club types. People who love being right. Friends who turn every lunch into a five-hour conversation.

Why this exists

This is the game I always wanted to give my students.

After 15 years teaching logic and informal fallacies — in person and online — I knew one thing for certain: kids can absolutely learn this stuff. What's harder is finding a way to make them actually want to.

I have seven kids and our house runs on games, fun, and debating back-and-forth. For years I kept thinking: why isn't there a game that teaches this? Not a worksheet dressed up as fun. Not a "learning game" you play once and shelve. Something you actually pull out on a Friday night.

"The goal should never be to teach kids the names of fallacies and never apply it. It should be to wire their brains to catch bad reasoning real-time and in the wild.”

So I built it. Fantastic Fallacies is what I always wanted in my classroom — something fast, competitive, and that sneaks real critical thinking into a 15-minute game. I'm 80% of the way to production. I am launching a Kickstarter this summer to fund the first real print run — and I'd love you to be on the list!.

That's where you come in.

When is the Kickstarter? +
Launching July 2026. Get on the list and we'll email you the moment we go live — we'd love for you to back us and make Fantastic Fallacies a reality!
How much will it cost? +
Retail will be around $20. This is for one copy of the physical game.
Is this actually educational, or is that just marketing? +
Both. The 12 fallacies are real, taught in classrooms and courses on informal fallacies. But the game has to work as a game — or no kid plays it twice.
What's the right age for this? +
13+ is the sweet spot. The Arguments use some examples from politics, advertising, and media, which is where the real-world critical thinking lives. That said — you know your kid better than I do. If they're eager, go for it.
Where do you ship? +
US for sure. International likely available as an add-on at cost. Final details at launch.
Is this for classrooms? +
Yes. Some of our first test groups were students in a classroom. Fantastic Fallacies is a great game that will keep your students talking and debating long after the game is over.
