Would You Rather is a popular conversation game that can be played with friends, family, or even strangers. Here are the steps to play:

  1. Gather players: Gather a group of players, and make sure everyone is seated in a circle or around a table.
  2. Choose a moderator: Choose a moderator who will ask the questions and keep the game moving.
  3. Explain the rules: Explain the rules of the game, which are simple: the moderator will ask a 'Would You Rather' question, and the players must choose between two options. The options can be humorous, thought-provoking, or just plain silly.
  4. Start the game: The moderator asks the first question, and each player takes turns answering it.
  5. Discuss answers: After each player answers, you can discuss why they chose that option and what their thought process was.
  6. Repeat: Repeat steps 4-5 with different questions, until everyone has had a chance to ask a question or the group decides to end the game.
  7. Optional variations: You can make the game more challenging by adding a time limit for answering each question or adding consequences for choosing certain options.

Remember to play the game respectfully and avoid asking questions that could be offensive or uncomfortable for certain players.
