How to turn these into a game
- 1.Read a question out loud. Everyone commits to a side — yes or no, this or that. “It depends” is banned.
- 2.Thirty seconds each. Set a timer and make your case before it runs out.
- 3.For the spicy ones, flip a coin or roll a die to decide which side you argue — even the one you don't believe. That's where it gets fun.
This is exactly how YODM works — 92 cards, a 30-second timer, and a die that assigns your side. But you can start with the list below tonight.

Keep it fun, not a real fight
- · Keep the timer honest — 30 seconds is what keeps it light.
- · Argue the opposite of what you believe sometimes. It's sharper and funnier.
- · Attack the position, never the person.
- · The goal is the argument, not a winner.
