Either-Or Questions
For this deck





The story is why you chose it, not which one you chose.
Two paths, no right answer. Which side am I on?
Thirty-nine cards that lay out two paths with no right answer and get everyone talking about which side they stand on.
Since both sides are right, like security and adventure, or honesty and consideration, there's no winning or losing.
They're written to make it a time for hearing why someone chose, more than which side they chose.

Decks
- Getting to Know Each OtherQuestion cards for getting to know each otherThirty question cards that ask who the person sitting across from you really is. They ask not what you're good at, but what you've wondered about for a long time, and what you say first on a day when things fall apart. Easy to ask, but the answers come out differently for everyone.
- Questions for a First GatheringIcebreaker questions to open a first-time gatheringIcebreaker question cards that ease the awkwardness of a group meeting for the first time. A mix of questions about your name, how you feel today, and the pace of an unfamiliar room. Kept short and gentle so even the quiet ones can join in comfortably.
- Questions for Someone NewTeam-building questions to open up with a newcomerTeam-building question cards that slowly close the distance between a newcomer and an unfamiliar team. They hold the questions the early days call for: an unfamiliar door, a first word, how to ask for help. They help you hold off on judging each other too quickly and settle into the room slowly.
