Would-you-rather choices with no easy way out.
Would you live a life without surprises or a life that is pure chaos?
Every card in Dilemmas is a choice between two things you would rather not choose between. A job you love with poor pay, or one you hate with great pay? Lose your sense of taste or your sense of smell? Save one person you love or five strangers?
The only rule is that nobody gets to say "neither." Answers come fast, and the conversation happens when people explain them. The deck mixes silly choices with a few heavy ones, so it works for a group of friends and for two people on a long walk.
