13 Fallacies

13 Fallacies is a card game designed to teach players how to recognize common fallacies in thinking. 13 Fallacies is designed to be played in groups of 3 to 6 players. In a turn of play, each player draws 5 fallacy cards that provide a definition and example of a specific common fallacy in thinking (e.g. card stacking, appeal to pity). One player serves as the judge, and this position rotates among all players to comprise a round of play. The player in the judge role flips a “scenario” card that provides a situation that contains at least three fallacies.
