Hot Takes
Solo, it’s an opinion check: vote on each take, then see whether the community is with you. With friends, read a take aloud, vote at the same time and give the lonely minority thirty seconds to defend themselves. In a Party Room, everyone votes on their own phone and the split is revealed together, so nobody can quietly change sides. Want points for being contrarian? Play Minority Wins. Want romantic arguments? Try the dating pack.

Questions
Is it good for a date?
It’s a fast way to find out whether you agree on the things that matter — or at least on who pays. Start at the lower levels.
Are the community results real?
Yes. A take only shows the community split once enough anonymous votes exist; before that, nothing is shown.
What is a hot take?
An opinion that a lot of people will disagree with, said with full confidence. The good ones split a room roughly in half — that’s what every card here is written for.
What’s the difference with Minority Wins?
Hot Takes is about your real opinion, with no score. Minority Wins uses the same kind of takes in a Party Room, but you only score when your side is the smaller one.
