Versão Portuguesa: Isto Não É Um Jogo

"There are games in our lifetime that changes us forever. This is not one of those."
—João Canelo podcaster of "Isto Não é Um Jogo!" 

When a Podcast is also a game!

A card game that explores the 3 personalities of the participants of the Portuguese podcast Isto Não é Um Jogo. In this game, each player aims to win ARGUMENTS over the other participants by eliminating their opponents' cards using the unique characteristics of their cards.  

Players: 2-3, Time per session: 15-20 minutes, Recommended Age: 8+.

Includes: 

• The most beautiful 3 character cards, each based on each podcaster (9 in total),
• Emblematic catch-phrases for each character, which (perhaps) will change your life forever,
• The Extraordinary "Extra Life Card",
• The fantastic 12 audience points to collect,  
• The amazing 3 cards to save the audience points,
• The super chill 3 guide cards with instructions for each play,
• The supreme PDF document with all the game instructions.

How to Play (Basic Rules):

• In each game session, the deck is shuffled and each player is dealt 2 cards. The rest remain on the table in a pile. The 12 audience points and 1 life card are also spread out on the game table.
• The aim of the game is to PERSUADE other players to do without their cards, metaphorically, gaining ARGUMENTS, while you collect Audience points,
• You can also REFUSE their arguments/persuasion or steal their audience INFLUENCE points. Each card comes with its unique set of gameplay possibilities,  
• Each player can only make one move per turn,
• Each player can choose the bluff strategy. In other words, you can argue that you have a specific card, and perform a special ability, even if you don't have it. You just can't be caught! 
• For more information, read the instructions in the document, or watch the video.
