Who Would Win is a board game released in 2009 for 3–99 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Jeff Siadek and its main mechanics are Role Playing, Acting, and Voting.
In Who Would Win? two players each draw one character card, then turn up an event card. Each player then has 20 seconds to argue why his character would win whatever event is presented. Why would Albert Einstein beat Darth Vader in a gardening contest? Why would Donald Trump prove to be a better figure skater than William Shakespeare? You tell me! The other players serve as the jury and vote on which player had the better argument; that player receives the event card. The first player to win five event cards wins the game.
Who Would Win supports 3–99 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Who Would Win is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Who Would Win for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Who Would Win has a complexity rating of 1.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
