Build the Venn-region diagram to prove which conclusion really follows, and unmask the ones that only seem to.
Was this fun?
How to play
Each round gives you premises and a set of candidate conclusions. Assemble the Venn-region tiles that model the premises, then judge which conclusion the diagram actually supports. The trap is the fallacies, conclusions that sound right but break down on the regions, like an undistributed middle or an illicit conversion. Build the picture and let it decide.
