Good vs Gooder

3–99 players · 45 min · 9+

Which good thing is gooder—Brunch Mimosas or Seeing a Bunch of Hot Air Balloons? Air Conditioning or A Clean Public Restroom? 272 Debate Cards and 36,856 possible pairings make up Good vs Gooder, a party game where teams create random matchups and debate which good thing is gooder. Let's share stories, laugh together, and start spreading some goodness!

All players divide into three teams and draw five Debate Cards. Two teams submit their favorite Debate Card. The third team flips over the two Debate Cards and judges Round 1. Teams try to persuade the judges with stories, jokes, real-life experiences, and fun facts. After a few minutes, the judges deliberate and vote for which team was more persuasive.

The winning team draws either a Good Card or a Gooder Card. All Good Cards are worth one point. Some Gooder Cards earn teams more than one point. Some are worth negative points. And some are action cards (like forcing your opponent to impersonate a celebrity during the debate). Teams must decide whether to play it safe or take a chance!

After Round 1, rotate which team judges and keep playing until you've completed 12 total debates. Whichever team has accumulated the most points after the last debate is declared the Goodest of All Time!
