About this board game
Who Would Win is a party argument game for 3–99 players that takes about 15 minutes to play. Each round, two players draw a character card and reveal an event card, creating an unusual contest that demands a quick, convincing case.
Players have just 20 seconds to explain why their character would win the presented event. The matchups can be wonderfully unexpected: perhaps Albert Einstein faces Darth Vader in a gardening contest, or Donald Trump competes with William Shakespeare in figure skating. The challenge is not simply deciding who seems strongest, but making the better argument.
Once both players have made their cases, the other players become the jury. They vote for the argument they found more persuasive, and the winner takes the event card. Every successful defense brings a player closer to victory.
- Draw a character card.
- Reveal an event card.
- Argue for 20 seconds why your character would win.
- Let the other players vote for the better argument.
- Be the first player to collect five event cards.
Who Would Win encourages fast thinking, creative reasoning, and entertaining debate without requiring long setup or a complicated rules system. The constantly changing combinations of characters and events give every round a fresh premise, while the jury decides which explanation deserves the win.
With room for a very large group and a short playing time, Who Would Win fits a lively gathering where everyone can listen, argue, and vote. Make an imaginative case, persuade the jury, and collect five event cards before anyone else.
