Critical thinking. Gamified.
Bad arguments win every day. This is target practice.

Fantastic Fallacies is a fast, laugh-out-loud card game: spot the bad argument, then out-argue everyone to win the point. In real-time. Built for students, homeschoolers, party people, and anyone who loves to debate.

Designed and made in the USA 🇺🇸

What's in the box

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

Defend & disrupt

Argue your pick in 20 seconds. Object to your friends'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 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 wire their brains to catch bad reasoning real-time and in the wild.”

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.

Now it's ready for your table. Get your copy below and start spotting bad arguments in the wild.
