Description
The Contender is a fast-paced and entertaining card game that puts you in the hot seat of a presidential debate. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be debating like a pro in no time. Players take turns combining phrases from Argument cards to create the most convincing or entertaining argument on a randomly drawn topic. The goal is to convince the Moderator that you're fit to lead the free world, and with hundreds of one-liners based on real presidential quotes, the possibilities are endless. In this social game, you'll need to use a mix of facts, attacks, and distractions to outmaneuver your opponents. With 3 to 99 players able to join in, it's perfect for large groups or parties. Games are quick, lasting between 15 to 30 minutes, making it easy to fit in a debate or two. Whether you're a politics junkie or just looking for a fun and lively game, The Contender is sure to deliver.
