Next: Superfight!

Form groups of 4-6 people.

2 of you are going to have an argument, the others are the   judges.

I will hand the speakers 1 character card and 2 attribute cards each. These cards describe their fighters.

Now the players argue why their fighter would win the fight.

When they have finished arguing the judges vote for the winner.

The winner keeps his/her cards and fights the next player, and also gains 1 point.

The next player gets their cards and the next fight begins!
