This or That, Baby is one of the ten games in Little One, a pack bought once and kept by your group.
What it feels like
New parents make about a thousand small decisions a day, and nobody agrees on any of them. Today, the room gets some practice. Here's how it works. In a private turn, you each get a dilemma with a blank, and fill it so the room can't agree. Then, one dilemma at a time, everyone else votes on whether they'd take it. After that, argue about it, because that's the best part. A perfect half and half split scores three for the writer, and less the more lopsided the vote. If the whole room agrees, the writer scores nothing.
How to play
- Take a private turn each: you get a dilemma with a blank. Fill it so the room can't agree.
- One at a time, everyone else votes: would you take it? On phones, or hands up.
- The closer to half and half, the better for whoever wrote it.
- Then argue about it. That's the best part.
Scoring: A perfect split scores 3 for the writer, and less the more lopsided the vote. A unanimous room scores nothing.
You'll get prompts like
- “The baby sleeps through every night, but only if you ___.”
- “You never change another nappy, but you have to ___ every morning.”
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.
