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: Three of Clubs

In a post-apocalyptic society, modern and technological work aren't immediately available. What do you think you could offer a community in exchange for food, water, and shelter? There is plenty of security and caretakers in these groups. What skill would you offer and why would they need it? This must be a skill that you currently have.
