How To Play Would You Rather

The first rule of would you rather is the more the merrier. The more people you get to play the more weird and wacky answers and justifications you’ll get to your questions. Someone starts, it really doesn’t matter who, and they ask a question along the lines of ‘Would You Rather…’ from there let the discussion fly. Everyone playing must firmly decide on one or the other no matter how unappealing or enticing the answers may be. From there, continue around the group to your heart’s content.

Hot Tip: Don’t limit yourself to just squirmish would you rather questions. Try two good answers for an interesting twist on the game.
