Contender Game Presidential Debate Review

Very funny. I played with my family of four and my 10 year old won. She was so excited to use one of her school vocabulary words. <>

Makes me wish I was poly so my husband and I can have a moderator who isn't five years old. We've learned that the catchphrases "poop" and "twilight sparkles" win instantly.
