Materials:
- A deck of cards containing prompt cards, we like this one from Amazon
- Pens or markers for each player
- Paper or another type of marking surface like whiteboards for each player
Scoring: The game is typically played for fun, not to win. Players can choose to keep track of points if they wish.
Additional Setup Notes:

Objective
The objective of Who’s Most Likely is to guess which player will most likely do the action or behavior described on the prompt card. Players aim to make accurate predictions based on their knowledge of each person participating.
Gameplay
Before starting, choose one player to act as the moderator. The moderator shuffles the deck of prompt cards and draws one card at a time, reading the prompt aloud to the group.
The first turn begins with the moderator reading the prompt card. Each player then privately writes down the name of the person they think is most likely to do the action read out loud from the card. Once everyone has written their answer, players reveal their choices all at once.
After the first turn is complete, the moderator collects the responses and reads them aloud. If there is a majority vote for a particular player, that player wins the round. If there is no majority, the group may discuss and debate their choices before voting again.
The game progresses with each player taking turns as the moderator, drawing prompt cards, and continuing the process of guessing who is most likely to perform the actions described on the cards.
Endgame
The game continues until players decide to end it or until a predetermined number of rounds has been completed. There is no strict endgame condition, as the game is meant to be played for a good time rather than competition.
