Ok, here goes…a good game for those with creativity…  
Called “Would you rather?” Has been played round many a bar in my younger days.

Goes like this…  
Person 1 (me!):

Would you rather…  
Go without food for 3 days

OR

Eat a fistful of roaches  
Person 2 Answers that question and poses their own question.

Wanna play?  
For the record, I’d eat the roaches! CAn’t go without eating for that long!
