Description

What is the opposite of a bridge? What is the opposite of a politician? What is the opposite of ice cream?

Contrarium is a combination of a riddle, a debate or conversation game, and a fun and humorous activity.

Players are asked for the opposite of various things. What is the opposite of toast? What is the opposite of ice cream? What is the opposite of a premonition?

There are no right or wrong answers. Players try to beat each other by matching their answers to the most common answers, which are listed on the cards.

It takes only a minute to learn and 10–30 minutes to play, with no complicated rules or set-up – just jump straight in and play! Perfect for 2–6 players and can be played in teams with a big group.
