Fantastic Fallacies game box
What's in the deck

Three card types. One messy debate.

Each round mixes Arguments, Fallacies, and Actions — so every hand plays differently, and arguments are ones from the wild.

Argument card back Argument card example

Argument · 28 CARDS

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

Fallacy card back Fallacy card example: Bandwagon

Fallacy · 28 CARDS

Strawman. Personal Attack. Bandwagon. Slap down the fallacy you think is hiding in the Argument, then defend your call.

Action card back Action card example: The Old Switcheroo

Action · 16 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, Exploding Kittens, 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
The heart of the game

Defend & disrupt.

This is where the game actually happens. One minute to make your case, and everyone else is coming for it.

Argue

You have one minute to prove the fallacy is really in there. Make it count.

Object & Defend

Think someone else's call is garbage? Say so. Defend your call.

Disrupt

Drop an Action card to create chaos, steal points, or disrupt in other ways.

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!

The party-game household

Game night is sacred. You've burned through the usual party games and worn out the other decks. You want something fast and funny, but smarter.

The homeschool family

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 school activity you do 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 help them catch bad reasoning in the everyday interactions.”

So I built it. Fantastic Fallacies is what I always wanted to give my students — critical thinking gamified. Something fast, competitive, and that sneaks real critical thinking into a 15-minute game.

Frequently asked questions.

How much is it? +
It's $30, which includes one copy of the physical game and includes free shipping within the continental United States. If you are international please contact us and we will try to work something out for you personally.
Where do you ship? +
We ship free to addresses within the continental United States, and we ship within 2 business days — usually the next one. You'll get a tracking number by email the same day your copy goes out. If you live outside the continental US, please contact us and we will try to work something out for you personally.
What if we don't like it? +
Then we'll refund you. You have 30 days from delivery, the game can be opened and played — that's the whole point — and you don't have to mail it back. All we ask is one sentence about what didn't work. Full returns policy.
Is this actually educational, or is that just marketing? +
Both. The 13 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.
Is this for classrooms? +
Yes. Some of our first test groups were students in a classroom. It keeps your students talking and debating long after the game is over.
How many players, and how long does a game take? +
3–5 players. We recommend setting a timer for 15 minutes and whoever has the most points at the end wins. It's fast enough for a quick game, and easy enough to keep going if you want to play another game.
Do I need to know the fallacies beforehand? +
Nope. Each Fallacy Card explains itself in plain language with a humorous illustration, so learning is gamified in real-time by playing — no studying required.
