First to Worst
The Petty Preference Audit
Guess how they rank five things, then enjoy discovering that a harmless preference deserves a surprisingly detailed defense.
Why we like this gift.
Somewhere between big life plans and another question about work, there is room for a very small disagreement about breakfast. This cooperative ranking game makes personal preferences the puzzle rather than something to win an argument about. We like it for people who enjoy explaining their wonderfully specific opinions. Let the supplied cards set the topics, keep the rounds brief, and leave the cross-examination to fictional detectives.

The right kind of occasion.
A rainy afternoon date, a pub with a large corner table, or unwinding at home when you both fancy a playful debate without heavy competitiveness.
Make it a moment.
Pull out three topic cards over drinks and tackle them as a quick palate cleanser between stories. Skip anything heavy, and let controversial rankings spark an immediate, harmless defense.
Try this opening line
“Let’s find out whether we share values or merely tolerate the same crisps.”
Before you buy.
Supports two or more players; check the current rules and choose a short session if you only fancy a few rounds. Preview topics and agree that either person can skip one. Bring a bag for the box.
