Conflicted is a game which consists of multiple decks, each deck containing 52 cards, and on each card is a question. The setting is in an environment where some catastrophic event has occurred. Could be nuclear war, World War III, horrible disease, economic collapse, but regardless of the scenario, no form of government really exists or if it does it is unable to help you. No calling 911, no cell phones, no internet. Its just yourself, maybe friends and family, and possibly a small group of people who can help you. Not necessarily Mad Max/Post Apocalyptic, but cohesive civilization with modern technology at our fingertips is essentially over.

Every week I will post one of the cards (selected at random), and each participant writes a response to what they would do in that situation or how they might handle it. I will let the thread run for one week, and then post a new question. Post as much as you like after giving your response. Debating and analyzing is part of the game! I won't be playing as I am the one running the game.

There are no right or wrong answers as the game is about hearing how people could navigate a stressful or perilous situation.

Deck 1 - Downfall: Jack of Diamonds

Due to massive social unrest your city is burning to the ground. You and your loved ones have decided it's time to bug out. All you have is a 9mm pistol and a decent supply of food and water. On your way to your pre-determined but out location, you run into a family friend who wants to barter his firearms for food and water because he didn't see this coming. You have enough spare food and water to trade for only one weapon. A .22 long rifle, a 12 gauge shotgun, or a bolt action .308 rifle. Each comes with a good supply of ammo. Which weapon would you choose and why?

308 less change for jamming and you need caution not hubris for survival.

the shotgun.  solid stopping power, and more forgiving with aim
