How to play
- Group picks a time period (e.g., Medieval Europe, 1920s New York, Ancient Rome).
- Each player describes their plan for surviving or thriving in that era.
- They have 60 seconds to pitch their strategy.
- Group votes on: who would thrive, who would survive, and who would be immediately eliminated.
- Rotate time periods.
Example round
- Medieval England — someone immediately claims to be a 'plague doctor'. Suspicious.
- Ancient Rome — one person's plan is entirely about the food. Accepted.
- 1980s Wall Street — someone has a suspiciously detailed plan. The group is concerned.
Tips
- Pick specific micro-eras for more detail: not just '1800s' but 'Gold Rush California, 1849'.
- Add a twist: you can only bring three modern items. What do you take?
