Existential Chicken

Speedrun your friends' worldviews.

Each card asks one of philosophy's biggest questions, and your answer has to last at least a minute. No yes-or-no answers allowed. There's no right answer, but a thoughtful one wins you a point. But watch out, these questions have a way of getting to people. When someone trails off mid-sentence with a quiet "whoa…", they've cracked! It's the fastest way we know to find out what someone actually believes, and it works as well for philosophy majors as for people who have never read a word of Plato. It is not a game about chickens.

Perfect for dinner parties, date nights, road trips, and anyone who likes a good debate.
