Master Debaters Smosh Edition Brings a Judge, Jury, and Plenty of Laughs to Game Night

Do you ever struggle to find things to do with friends? I’m not old by any means, but I’m at that age where I really don’t love going out on weekend nights. It used to be fun, when I was younger and could stay out late and wake up early with little consequence, but now I find that I would rather spend a fun evening in with friends than fight the weekend crowds. That said, those nights in can get a little boring if you don’t have something (besides wine, of course) to occupy the hours, so my friends and I sometimes play games to entertain ourselves. We have quite a few favorites, but we always look for the ones that will make us laugh (and often get a little loud).

We’re always on the lookout for new games that will appeal to a wide variety of players, and I’m really excited about a new one we’ve recently tried. Master Debaters – Smosh Edition is one of the games we love to play. (If you’re not familiar with Smosh, you should check them out. They’re one of the top comedy YouTube channels and websites, and they have some hilarious content). As the name indicates, this is a game of debates and opinions – we all have them, so why not have fun sharing them?

How does it work? Two players are debaters, one is the judge, and the rest are the jury. A card is chosen and roles are assigned, and a chip is flipped to determine which side of an argument the debater will have to assume. What kinds of arguments? Silly ones. Is a spork more spoon or fork? Are Cheetos a potato chip? Should leggings be worn as pants?

Let me tell you, guys. You may find that while you’ve never held a strong opinion about sporks, suddenly your primary goal in life is to prove that they are, in fact, more spoon.

Players have a set number of seconds to argue their points without interruption, and then have an open debate where pretty much anything goes, including friendly banter. The jury then votes for a winner, but even that doesn’t guarantee a win – the judge can overturn their decision.

The game comes with everything you need, including a countdown timer. And with 266 debate topic cards, you definitely won’t run out of options.

Master Debaters – Smosh Edition can be purchased at Target (both in-store and online) and from some third-party sellers on Amazon. If you’re looking for a fun party game to add to your collection, I definitely recommend giving this one a try! To learn more about the game, have a look at the Smosh website. You can also watch the Smosh crew play the game on YouTube – see for yourself how fun the game is, and I promise you’ll be interested!
