Conflicted the prepper's card game!

Today I wanted to take some time and tell you guys about the Conflicted card game. It's a game that I stumbled upon that is right up our alley!

The idea of the game is to dream up an apocalyptic scenario. It doesn't have to be zombies. It could be anything! I tried explaining this to my wife last night...it went over better than zombies... After your group decides on an event that would change the world as we know it, the first player picks a card. Each card has a scenario on it that the player must make a decision about.

One card that comes to mind is about a plane ride in which you and your friends are flying a plane that has been stolen. Mid-flight it is determined that the plane is overloaded and will not be able to make it to the destination. The decision is who will be thrown from the plane mid-flight to make the plane light enough to continue. Now if you're sitting around playing this game with your family and friends, this may not be an easy decision! My wife said, well better to lose friends than family, and shoved them out the door!

Once you have made up your mind, you explain to the group what your decision is, and why. The other members of the group then give you an evaluation score between 0 and 3. Five being that they agree with your decision and would likely do the same thing, one being, no way!

The object of the game is to be the one with the most points at the end of the game. The interesting part of the game is that the person that makes the best decisions, or gets the group to agree would typically be your leader or the person that people would follow. The person with the least amount of points is going to be the person with off the wall decisions and probably that person you want to kick out the door of the plane!

The game really challenges your mind, your survival skills, and also the ideology of who you will be bringing when the SHTF. In my novel I bring along my family members and no friends, but after playing this game with them I wonder if it would be wise to bring them along? Sometimes it's the hard decisions that have to be made for the survival of the group or your family.

Can you make those hard decisions or will your own moral compass put your family in harms way.
