How to Play Argue!
Argue! is a game about arguing, and the one who debates the given topic the best wins. Got an opinion on a matter? Then this is the game where you can voice it and really make it count.

A Final Thought
Like movies, video games and CDs, ratings or recommended ages are there for a reason. A game such as Argue! is suggested for adults because the topics debated do have at least a PG rating. And mixing adults and children in a game where opinions are debated may not be a good thing. If you want to play this game with children, scope out the topics ahead of time and remove any that you may feel are inappropriate.
