Secret Master Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Highly recommend by Jason and Tina! In “Who Would Win?” two players draw random character cards and turn up a random event card. Each player argues for 20 seconds as to why their character would win. The other players serve as the jury and vote on which player had the better argument. The first player to win 5 arguments wins the game. Some example possibilities: Ben Franklin vs. Barbie in a lion taming competition Mick Jagger vs. Pocahantas in a kayaking race Nelson Mandela vs. Sean Connery in a poker showdown George Bush vs. Peter Pan in a pie-eating contest This new Gorilla Games product can be purchased from the Hero Store here.

Curufea Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Re: New Product: Who Would Win? [card game] Reminds me a bit of Apples to Apples. Which suffers from the same faults: lack of familiar context. Both games could probably be improved by the players writing down things they are actually familiar with rather than relying on random chance and the general knowledge of the designer.

Basil Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Re: New Product: Who Would Win? [card game] I would always vote against whoever had the (current) highest score, unless I could get a dependable promise of a vote. It BEGS for metagame thinking.

Curufea Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Re: New Product: Who Would Win? [card game] If I were to metagame, I'd give everyone limited resources with which to vote and have simultaneous voting to negate that kind of thing You want subjective judgement of the contest, but objective attitudes to the players.

Panpiper Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Re: New Product: Who Would Win? [card game] Sounds like a good 'car' game for families on long trips. Of course it would have to be a family with sufficiently educated and intelligent kids to recognize who those characters are in the first place.

mattingly Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Re: New Product: Who Would Win? [card game] It gives a short description of each character at the bottom of the card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Re: New Product: Who Would Win? [card game] Great little party game; loads of fun, and playable almost from the second you open the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualplayer Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Re: New Product: Who Would Win? [card game] Reminds me a bit of Apples to Apples. Who would win?: Who Would Win? or Apples to Apples. Sounds like a good addition to the Beer & Pretzels game shelf. Something to play with friends who don't take all games too seriously.

Badger Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Re: New Product: Who Would Win? [card game] Is Chuck Norris in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapsedgamer Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Re: New Product: Who Would Win? [card game] Is Chuck Norris in there? Don't be silly. That would just break the game. Of course if it were a collectible card game you could sell ultra rare Chuck Norris cards for a lot of money. What was that thing back in the 90s? The Black Lotus?
