This Game is the Worst-Case Scenario [Q.166]

Post by diginova »

I'm feeling particularly evil today, so let's run something special. Let's play a game
outside
the top 10,000 on BGG.
You will not survive with your sanity intact. You will be warned.

WARNING

When a life is imperiled or a dire situation is at hand, safe alternatives may not exist. To deal with the worse-case scenarios presented in this game, we highly recommend—insist, actually—that the best course of action is to consult a professionally trained expert. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UNDERTAKE ANY OF THE ACTIVITIES DESCRIBED IN THIS GAME YOURSELF. But because highly trained professionals may not always be available when the safety of individuals is at risk, we have asked experts and conducted research on various subjects to determine the techniques that PUBLISHER, [MOD,] AUTHORS AND EXPERTS DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY from any injury that may result from the use, proper or improper, of the information contained in this game. All the information in this game comes from experts and reference sources at hand, but we do not guarantee that the information contained herein is complete, safe or accurate, nor should it be considered a substitute for your good judgement and common sense. And finally, nothing in this game should be construed or interpreted to infringe on the rights of other persons or to violate criminal statutes: we urge you to obey all laws and respect all rights, including property rights, of others.


Yes, that paragraph, missing sentence and all, is on the front cover of the rulebook.
No, it doesn't matter, because none of the scenarios will help you survive anything, and a good number of them aren't even scenarios that anyone would consider worst-case.

How does this work?

You post in-thread that you want a question.
I pull a random question card and give it to you.
The question has three possible answers.
You try to choose the one that the game says is the best*.
If you're correct, you get a point. If you're wrong, you don't get a point.

I feel like making a Wargames reference now even though I've never actually watched that movie.

Regardless, I'll take a question.
