Draft Night
Run it like fantasy football for everything else. Snake-draft categories — cities to live in, superpowers, celebrity dinner guests, fast-food chains, skills to master — and everyone builds a team. The table votes the strongest roster. People get absurdly competitive about french fries.
What it's for
Make people argue about preferences with the commitment of a professional general manager — constrained choice reveals actual values.
The guest's job
Draft your picks in snake-draft order and build the strongest possible roster across all categories.
The vote
Table votes the strongest overall roster at the end; each drafter makes a thirty-second case.
The reveal
Full rosters read aloud so every choice is public and defensible — or indefensible.
Food & drink spine
Something finger-food-friendly that doesn’t interrupt the draft clock; ideally thematic to the categories.
Conversation fuel
"Which pick are you most embarrassed about, and which one is secretly brilliant?"
How it flops — steer around it
Categories with obvious dominant picks. Use categories where the second-best choice is genuinely controversial.
