In the  digital age, fake news and “alternative facts” are spreading like wildfire. Deciphering what’s real versus what’s not has become a huge problem. Which can make for some embarrassing social media posts!

This fake news game takes advantage of that trend. Fake News/Real News is a fun, fast-paced card game that uses real quotes from campaign and administration members. It also uses entirely fabricated quotes to trip up players.

Each player is dealt cabinet member cards and a fake news card. Then, players take turns reading the statements off of the quote cards and deciding which quotes are real or fake. The first player to get 11 points wins. If you’re not already questioning the state of the nation and our administration, playing this will likely get you there.

Regardless of your political stance, this fake news game is fun for all party members. And it’s available through Amazon for just $13.98, while supplies last.
