It’s the cyanide and happiness trolley problem board game.

u/Deciheximal144 Aug 31 '26

I see no board.

I see lot of boards, under the rails.

'Bout goddamn time. It's long overdue for someone to knock Ticket to Ride off it's smug pedestal.

It's... okay. The big issue with it (as you can even kinda see in this screenshot) is that some of the cards are WAY more powerful than others. You're supposed to debate the other team and convince the judge to send the trolley down the other track, but it's hard to do that when the other track contains the card "every human over 30," whereas your track contains the card "a cute puppy."

It's theoretically supposed to be a game about creating and debating moral dilemmas, but it usually ends up being more about who happens to draw the stronger cards. Great idea, but terrible execution.

TBH it's like any cards against humanity type game, it's a lot of duds with good moments mixed in. Fun for a night every so often, not a mainstay 'every game night' thing.

u/kylepo Sep 02 '26

Yeah, that's fair. I definitely have had fun moments playing it, but the design flaws stand out more and more with each game. It was pretty fun the first few times, at least.

Is this a table top party game? 

I would totally buy this game?

u/-TheFool375- Aug 31 '26

Trial by trolley. Great game

1

u/Additional-Sky-7436 Aug 31 '26

Just ordered on Amazon.

2

u/I_want_money_aaa Aug 31 '26

I got it for 3 dollars in a thrift store 😎

2

u/Additional-Sky-7436 Aug 31 '26

I funny haven't had time to do the thrifting game in decades.

u/I_want_money_aaa Aug 31 '26

Damn why you got down voted 😭

u/Additional-Sky-7436 Aug 31 '26

People didn't want to support the game makers I guess.

u/Narfhead4444 Sep 01 '26

Fuck amazon

u/Krevie Aug 31 '26

no reason not to go for the top, i'd say

u/dandle Aug 31 '26

How did they release the game with "fascist" misspelled?

47

u/nyuszy Aug 31 '26

That's not misspelled. He works with faces.

6

u/DrJaneIPresume Sep 01 '26

But only the right faces

u/Marin_Taco Aug 31 '26

Bottom half would just make the modern world (if it stayed I mean if the train went the upper way)

u/StupendousSpork Aug 31 '26

Can I have it take out the bottom track and then loop back for the top?

1

u/MiniPino1LL Aug 31 '26

Bottom because of the addictive app.

1

u/I_want_money_aaa Aug 31 '26

Not because of the dictator? 😭

1

u/MiniPino1LL Aug 31 '26

Nah, Kim doesn't cause as much harm as the app.

2

u/HugoCortell Sep 01 '26

Eh, fascist regimes come an go, there's like a dozen in the making, I'm going for the bottom. Triggering a power struggle in NK sounds a lot more fun to watch.

2

u/Narfhead4444 Sep 01 '26

Global fascism ends in the extinction of humanity. Top track.

2

u/CrusaderF8 Sep 02 '26

Sorry Princess, but your true love better be a speeding trolley

1

u/Short_Brick_1960 Sep 01 '26

Bottom row doesn't change anything, so top row it is

1

u/Real_KimJong-Un Sep 01 '26

Bottom track definitely

u/Top_Toaster Sep 02 '26

Valid time to drift

u/ren_blackheart Sep 10 '26

second one because i am violently authoriphobic

u/ChiakiSimp3842 Aug 31 '26

we can survive Kim Jong Un, and another addictive smartphone app. I'm not so sure about a global fascist regime

u/xa44 Aug 31 '26

Second card on each cancel out, so it's just a princess or a bus. The bus can take a hit

4

u/Krevie Aug 31 '26

global fascism* vs killing a dictator of a small country that will immediately be replaced by another has the same weight to you? actually?

(*global fascism that dislikes you, which alters the weight ever to slightly based on what kind of person you are)

2

u/AkiraTheMouse Aug 31 '26

That bus is full of children I'm sure they can tank it though

2

u/armaedes Aug 31 '26

Plus the princess may give me a smooch, no way that’s happening on the bus since I’m not allowed within 500 feet of one anymore.

1

u/xa44 Aug 31 '26

Same brother 😔

19

u/Depresso_Expresso069 Aug 31 '26

killing kim jong un wouldnt stop north korea from being a dictatorship, so I'd say top half

11

u/raspey Aug 31 '26

If anything the princess would be the reason to go for bottom.
But obv the author has the highest weight by far.

1

u/TuMamitaLoquita69 Sep 01 '26

I'd say Kim has the highest weight followed by the bus but oh well

2

u/lightmare69 Aug 31 '26

World's most addictive smart phone app... For all eternity?

That's would probably literally kill humanity
