What it feels like

For one minute each, somebody at this table gets the floor, and everybody else gets to listen. Tonight, the birthday person goes first. Here's how it works. One person takes the floor at a time and answers three questions out loud. You can use the sixty-second timer if you like, and nobody has to write anything down. If someone says a line worth remembering, keep it in the Almanac. There are no scores tonight. It's just the room, listening.

How to play

  1. One person takes the floor at a time and answers out loud.
  2. Use the 60-second timer if you like. Nobody has to write anything.
  3. Keep any line worth remembering in the Almanac.

Scoring: No scores. Just the room, listening.

You'll get prompts like

  • “What are you proudest of from the last ten years?”
  • “What do you know now that you didn't at twenty?”

What you need

3 to 10 people and one phone, tablet or laptop to pass around — or everyone on their own phone in a room. Nothing to download, no accounts. The best lines can be sealed into your group's Almanac and come back in later games.
