What is this game?
How many players? 2+ players
When does it land? The first ten minutes, to wake a quiet table up
An argument without a subject. Both options are bad in their own way, so whichever you pick you end up defending it. The trick is in the writing, because a card with one obviously better option is dead on arrival, and every pair in the set takes something away from you either way.
Rules
Read both options out loud without hinting at your own
Everyone picks a side before anyone explains anything
Then each side says why, one sentence at a time
The bigger side has to talk one person into switching
Nobody wins and the next card is already waiting
Cards from the set
Would you rather always be twenty minutes early or ten minutes late?
Would you rather lose the ability to lie or the ability to keep a secret?
Would you rather have unlimited free flights or unlimited free food?
Would you rather work four long days or six short ones?
Would you rather know how you die or when you die?
Would you rather never wait in a queue or never sit in traffic?
How else can you play?
Without drinking, count who switched sides most often, that person is worth watching
For two, take opposite sides on purpose, even the one you do not believe in
From ten people, split the room physically, left option on one side and right on the other
With kids at the table, the set still works, they choose faster and argue harder
Advice for the host
Everyone chooses first, once one person explains, the rest drift to that side
Ban both and neither, the card works only if you have to give something up
Keep the pace up, two minutes a card is plenty for this one, then move on
Questions about this game
Why not make one option clearly better?
Because then there is nothing to argue about. Every pair in the set is written so that both sides cost you something.
How long does a round take?
A minute or two per card. It is the fastest of the four games, which makes it the one to open the evening with.
Is it safe for a mixed table?
Yes. The questions are about choices rather than confessions, so nobody has to reveal anything about themselves.
Can I play in the browser?
Yes, eight cards a day here. The app has the full set plus the other three games in the same place.
