Every WYRDO deck has a few cards that go quiet the second they hit the table. Not because they are boring, but because everyone at the table realises, in the same moment, that they are about to learn something about each other they cannot un-learn.
Why the good ones hurt
A great would-you-rather is not a trivia question. It has no right answer. It forces a choice between two things you value, and then it makes you defend it to people who love you.
The best question is the one where both answers make you look slightly unhinged.
The list
- Would you rather always know when someone is lying, or never know when you are being lied to?
- Would you rather lose every photo you have ever taken, or every message you have ever sent?
- Would you rather your search history be public, or your bank statements?
- Would you rather be the funniest person in every room but never taken seriously, or respected but never once make anyone laugh?
- Would you rather relive your most embarrassing moment once a year, or forget your happiest memory forever?
How to play them right
- No abstaining. Pick a side.
- The minority always explains first.
- Nobody is allowed to say it depends.
Bring these to your next game night and see who is still talking to you by the end of it. If you make it through all five, you are officially a WYRDO.
