About the Game

Terrible Candidates pits you and another candidate against each other in a fierce debate where you need to win over the Press. You’re given a selection of Policy cards which you then use as prompts for debate when the Topic card is revealed. You each take 30 seconds to win over the Media, who has the chance to interact with you (don’t like it? Yell out Fake news!)

The game ends when all players have debated the person sitting on either side of them. The player who won the most debates is the President. If multiple players have won the same number of debates, these winners then debate each other, until there is an ultimate debate, and the final vote is chosen

It’s a great way to start off a games night over a couple of drinks and a fantastic game to add to your collection of party games, due to the simple rules and easy replayability.
