Would You Rather
"Would you rather" is a conversation or party game that poses a dilemma in the form of a question beginning with "would you rather". The dilemma can be between two supposedly good options such as "Would you rather have the power of flight or the power of invisibility?", two attractive choices such as "Would you rather have money or have fame?", or two supposedly bad options such as "Would you rather sleep with your best friend's lover or your lover's best friend?" The players, sometimes including the questioner, then must choose their answers. Answering "neither" or "both" is against the rules. This leads the players to debate their rationales. The game is played on the podcasts ''Comedy Bang! Bang!'' and Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast, the horror film '' Would You Rather'', the Disney Channel TV series ''Coop & Cami Ask the World'', and the BBC America game show '' Would You Rather...? with Graham Norton''. The game is a "running gag" on '' Family Guy'', pla ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Never Have I Ever
"Never have I ever", also known as "I've never..." or "ten fingers", is a drinking game in which players take turns asking other players about things they have not done. Other players who have done this thing respond by taking a drink. A version that requires no drinking, usually played by children and underage adolescents, has players counting scores on their fingers instead. Rules The verbal game starts with all players forming a circle. The first player starts by saying a simple statement about something they have never done before starting with "Never have I ever". Anyone who at some point in their life has done the action that the first player says must drink. Then the game continues around the circle, and the next person makes a statement. An additional rule says that if there is no one taking a drink, then the one who said the particular "Never have I ever..." statement must take a drink. This rule often forces the players to strategize more and makes for less dispos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
