What it is

A multiplayer debate game. The game draws a statement, you argue for or against it, write a short argument and the other players vote for whoever convinced them more.

The goal

Turn debate into play: think fast, write short and persuade. Nobody has to agree with the side they drew, and nobody is forced to defend what they don't want to. Just let the round pass.

How a round works

  1. Draw

    The game draws a statement and decides who argues for and who argues against.

  2. Writing

    Each player writes their own argument within the time limit.

  3. Voting

    The other players are jurors and vote for whoever convinced them more.

  4. Points

    Only the winner gets the full score. In a tie, both score for the votes they received.

Five ways to play

  • Standard

    Classic duel: two players argue for and against the statement, and the jurors choose who convinced them more.

  • Anonymous

    Same as Standard, but identities stay hidden until the final ranking. Less bias, more focus on the text.

  • Devil's Advocate

    One player alone defends an almost impossible statement, and the jurors say whether they were convinced.

  • Presidential Candidates

    Election debate questions: one candidate answers and the others say whether they would vote for them.

  • Streamer

    Made for live streams: the speaker argues out loud and the audience votes in real time.

How points work

The score considers the votes, the difficulty of the statement and how concise the text is.

  1. Very easy
  2. Easy
  3. Moderate
  4. Hard
  5. Very hard
  6. Brutal
  7. Extremely hard

The harder the side you defend, the more points. Shorter texts also earn more.
