Villamos dilemma board game

Villamos dilemma is a party game built around the classic moral thought experiment of the runaway tram. One player takes the role of the driver and decides which track the tram will follow. The remaining players form two teams, each trying to steer the tram onto the other side's track. Three card decks determine who stands on each track: innocent bystanders, wicked characters, and modifier cards that can unexpectedly change how a person is seen.

The appeal lies in its dark humour and the questions it raises. Which track would you choose, and what does that decision say about your values? This often leads to lively conversations about morality, personal preferences and worldviews. At the end, the player with the fewest skull markers wins.

The box contains the rulebook, 26 markers, a tram marker, a track game board, 200 "Innocent" cards, 150 "Wicked" cards and 175 modifier cards. Suitable for 3 to 13 players aged 14 and up, with a playing time of about 30 to 90 minutes.
