Sway Game: Sway is a hilarious, easy to play party game that highlights the positive in all things. Two players each have 30 seconds to debate the pros of two totally different topics. They can only explain the positives even for topics that don’t seem so on the surface, like “middle airplane seats” and “getting arrested.” To add to the fun, both players complete the same challenge while making their case, like “speak like a pirate.” A judge picks the winner on whatever criteria they choose. Whether playing with total strangers or your best friends, Sway induces laughter and sparks jovial conversation. It will show you sides of your friends, family or co-workers you’ve never seen before. Imagine hearing your grandma try to convince you that getting fired is awesome in her best (or worst) Scottish accent. That’s what Sway is like. It’s fun and funny, but not at anyone else’s expense.
