Rhêtorikê

Description

Rhêtorikê is a rhetoric-based debate game in which players build a debate using playing cards. The game is designed for 2 to 4 players aged 13 to 77, and each session lasts about 30 minutes. Players take turns speaking and must formulate arguments to score points. Speakers can play three types of argument cards: demonstrative (green), deliberative (blue), and eristic (red). These arguments require players to articulate their side’s thesis using specific rhetorical figures, forms of sophistry, persuasion techniques, and by incorporating as many vocabulary cards as their strength allows.
