Rules

Each player takes a Race card and its associated Candidate card. When debating, you will play as the candidate from your race, running for President of the Galaxy. When voting, your will be voting to represent the population of your race. All players’ Candidate cards are shuffled together.

Each turn 2 Candidate cards are drawn. These players will debate against each other.

A Topic card is drawn randomly. If the Topic card has a space labeled “Thing,” draw a Thing card to fill in the blank. If the Topic card has a space labeled “1st Player’s Race” or “2nd Player’s Race,” this refers to the races of the two candidates that are debating. The first player who was drawn for the debate will decide if they will argue Pro or Con on the issue, and the second player must argue the opposite. First player gets 30 seconds to defend his stance, making up whatever silly arguments or facts he or she sees fit. Then second player gets a 30 second rebuttal to counter any points or make-believe statistics the first player stated.

NOTE: You can’t say that a fact someone has stated is false. You can however add information to their fact to spin it the other way.

EXAMPLE:
Player 1: “Galactic scientists conducted a study and found that 0% of humans are actually dangerous.”
Player 2: “The galactic scientists my opponent refers to are actually raccoons and used a sample size of one human that was feeding them stale crackers.”

Then the rest of the players use their race cards to vote for one of the debaters. The winner of the vote keeps the topic card and scores a point. Whoever has the most topic cards by the time everyone is bored of playing, wins.
