Looking for a fun, easy game to spark conversation and a few good-natured groans at your next gathering? One Must Go is a game of excruciating choices.
You get three favorites—say pizza, chocolate, and wine—and you must choose which one you’d give up forever (we know… impossible!). It’s a playful way to discover what your friends or family really can’t live without, and to reveal a few surprises about yourself along the way.
You can challenge others by creating your own trios (of course, you might want to stay away from making the choices your children, friends, parents…). To get you started, we put together two lists: one holiday-themed, perfect for festive gatherings, and a master list you can pull out any time of year.
Enjoy—and yes, we promise, no one will judge if you keep the chocolate.
Download and print the lists below, cut them into strips, pass them around in a hat.
