Instructional Games and Gaming at IU South Bend
Media Services can help with planning and producing instructional games. We stay abreast of trends in gaming, and are actively engaged in faculty and student gaming activities. We will be happy to meet with you to discuss game mechanics, options, and resources.
13 Fallacies
13 Fallacies is a card game that is loosely based on Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity. Students must determine which fallacy card in their hand best addresses the scenario card which will detail up to three fallacies. The game relies on a group facilitator who determines the winner of the hand. It is also possible for the group to disagree with the facilitator’s decision. Then the group votes on the individual with the best argument for identifying the fallacy. This game is available. For more information contact Joel Langston.
