The best part comes after the choice.

Three questions you can use right now

Would you rather have a tiny library in every room or one enormous reading room? Would you rather share a hobby with a neighbour or learn something entirely new from them? Would you rather cook a surprising meal together or follow a treasured family recipe? Read one pair at a time. These original prompts need no extra rules: choose A, B or pass, then ask what detail tipped the decision.

Vote before the debate

Read both choices clearly. Give everyone a moment to decide, then let each person record A, B, or a pass. Reveal the answers once everyone has responded. Waiting avoids letting the loudest person decide the room’s answer.

Open the game and read its rules — start with the free deck on one shared screen.

Ask “what makes that the good option for you?”

This gives a person room to explain without needing to defend themselves. Someone choosing a quiet cabin might want stillness, or they might be imagining an excellent fireplace. A simple follow-up often reveals the interesting part.

Let people interpret the scenario

There is no official rulebook for whether the tiny dragon needs veterinary care. A short imaginative detour is part of the fun. If details take over, agree on one version of the question and keep playing.

Match the deck to the group

Use The icebreakers when people are meeting. Try After the small talk for a group that wants absurd debates. Just the two of us explores shared preferences; A little deeper turns choices into conversations about values.

Leave room for changing your mind

A great explanation can make someone reconsider. The recorded vote is simply where everyone started. There is no winner, no global percentage to agree with, and no need to turn a preference into a competition.
