The Trolley Problem: Illustrated


Let’s take a look at what the conversation between some of history’s most well-known and respected philosophers would look like if they were presented with the trolley problem, arguably the most well known moral conundrum.

Keep in mind, your argument would differ based on the trickster card you play, or if you’re the hero, the trickster card played against your original decision.

  1. The player to the right of the Hero begins by drawing a Dilemma card from the top of the deck and reading it aloud.

14. The Dilemma card will then be discarded, and all Tricksters will draw a new Deceit card from the top of the deck to replace the one they used.

All subsequent rounds

All roles shift one position clockwise and the previous Hero reads the next Dilemma card.
