AITA


Based on the subreddit ‘Am I the Asshole’ (5 stars on Goodreads)


ML generated new AITA dilemmas 

This game wants everyone to have a conversation before judging people too harshly. They might be coming from a different place, they might not be informed, you might not have the whole picture - things are usually more grey than black and white. We want people to be less of a moral police and more empathetic


And aren’t we all a little more open to ideas - all sorts of ideas - under the influence?


How to play

#1 / Number of players: 5 or more (Two Defendants, the rest - Judge)

1. The Defendants pick up a AITA card and gets a minute to think of a context
2. The Defendants then contextualises the prompt in a not more than five sentences - one For it and one Against
3. Each Judge get one minute to probe each Defendant about the backstory
4. After all the Judges take a turn, they can discuss the event amongst each other but not revealing their answer
5. The Judges then at the count to three hold up their decision card


#2 / Number of players: 4 or more (One Defendant, the rest - Judge) 

1. The Defendant picks up a AITA card and gets a minute to think of a context

You want things to be grey

1. You win if you get more Maybes than AH or N-AH
2. Whichever judgment is the highest in number is the verdict
3. If there's a tie between AH and n-AH: It's a Maybe
4. You drink if it’s not a maybe
