About the game
Argue! is a hilarious debate party game where logic, creativity, and a straight face will earn you points—even if you're forced to defend something you absolutely hate. Each round, players are randomly paired by Assignment Cards and given a ridiculous debate prompt like “Who would win in a fight: Mary Poppins or Judge Judy?” The twist? The card also tells you which side you're arguing—even if it goes against your own beliefs. Non-debating players vote on who made the stronger case, and points are awarded accordingly. With 1,000 debate prompts and 100 optional Distraction Cards—like having to argue “while hopping on one foot” or “while smelling your shoe”—Argue! turns heated debates into hysterical performances. It’s improv-meets-philosophy-meets-chaos, and it’s a riot at parties, classrooms, or anywhere people like to shout opinions for fun.
