About this deal

Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. It often indicates a user profile. Some people on the internet think that there are more wheels.... (Image: Getty Images) Read More Related Articles Think of all the wheels in the elevators, wheels in all the drawers in desks, every chair in the building has 4 wheels on it, there would be 100:1 ratio of wheels to doors in a building alone,” another person stated.

One viewer attempted to explain the logic that “wheeled constructions always have doors. Doored structures don’t always have wheels. There are substantially more doored structures than wheeled structures.” Open, sesame! Alexander Spatari Do you think there are more doors or wheels in the world?— Ryan Nixon (@NewYorkNixon) March 5, 2022 This is not a trivia game though, because the sort of things that come up are not the sort of facts that someone knows off the cuff… although, that said, who am I to judge. This means that it’s not a case of knowing the answer – your choices will almost always be based on gut feeling or a mental coin flip, but the fun is in trying to argue your case to the rest of the team, win them over… then get proved completely wrong when the card turns over. The wheel was invented somewhere around 3,500 BC, depending on the type of wheel you're looking at and where in the world you are, so Team Wheel could argue that there's a historical advantage in its case.One wrote, “Just to confuse this debate do you mean EVER or NOW? as this very much alters my answer. Also is a broken door or wheel still a door or wheel? I need some rules here.” Someone else shared: “Doors by far. Most things with wheels have at least a 2:1 door-wheel ratio, and then you have all the other doors in the world.” Format Games have put out some decent family/party/pub style games, and WVD is no exception. There are literally thousands of numerical factoids for combining (over 4000 according to the box) on 150 cards, so this will keep your family/group/cadre debating over whether there are more of a) than b) for a considerable time, in which much responsible drinking will take place and much silliness will ensue. There is yet to be a formally agreed-upon definition for both door and wheel for the purpose of the experiment, meaning the … door … is still open for interpretation.

You see, everyone loves a good chat over whether there’s more of this and that, especially over Christmas – I believe some people call it an ‘argument’ while others refer to is as a ‘heated discussion’ and Jedi’s refer to it as ‘aggressive negotiations’– so what better than a game that provides a structure for these traditional tete a tetes that too often descend into fisticuffs? Scores On The Doors Another added, “Easily doors There’s double the number of homes in the world than there is cars Then there are other types of buildings too, eg shops, businesses etc Then on top of that, most vehicles have many doors too.”

Preview

Apparently, there was quite a furore on the old social media in the recent past about this most crucial of questions – are there more wheels or doors in the world? I mean, it’s no to dunk or not to dunk, but it did polarise the internet for a while – plus ca change, eh? Wheels vs Doors tokens are the currency of the game – each team/player starts with three drawn at random from the token box and each has the image of either a wheel or door on them. As tokens are won or lost, they are taken at random from the front of the box or placed at the rear of the box – you never know what you’re going to get, and this is crucial because the winner is the first team that can get either ten wheel or door tokens. Does It Come With Chips? Wheels did narrowly take out the win on that particular thread, beating doors 53.6 per cent to 46.4 per cent, but the internet has decided it's not quite done with the argument. Loading The case for the wheel

Another wrote: “I thought this through. It's wheels, unless you count biological valves as doors. In which case, just counting all the fish in the world would win.” Was it a hot topic? For sure. Was blood spilled? Almost certainly. Was it ever answered? (searches on [undesignated internet search engine]) Um… apparently not, but for a while it looked like wheels, until the great door boom of 2021… One of the best things about WVD is the production values. For the most part. Each team/player has their own set of poker-style chips to play with and they do have a real weight to them – makes the betting all the more satisfying, even when you lose. The Dealer counter is also a similarly weighted chip, so the whole passing of the first player token is a nice, tactile experience. They also come in a very dice fabric bag so they won’t clonk around in the box. Several people took to documenting the ratio of doors to wheels at their current place of residence. Someone noted that grocery stores “have many more wheels than doors.”

A user jokingly asked if one should count “steering wheels and spare wheels?” Someone else argued, “Doors by far. Most things with wheels have at least a 2:1 door-wheel ratio, and then you have all the other doors in the world.” Wheels and Doors may look sinister, with its silhouetted wheel standing in an open doorway like some kind of Pirelli of doom, but this is a game about fun with friends, not about who knows the most or who can make the most outrageous bets. It takes the clink-clink appeal of poker and the sheer ridiculousness of pub arguments (I used to have a long running disagreement with a friend of mine about whether Mr Spoon had spoons for arms – me - or a head - him. He finally relented over him having spoons for arms, but had become a professor of media, so… a bit embarrassing for him really) that don’t end up in brawls. It’s a good time game for good times, and like the titular Wheel, let the good times roll!

Others were confused on the argument’s edict, wondering if the doors and wheels constituted every single item that had ever existed or just the ones currently present.Ryan Nixon, who posted the original poll, did follow up a few days later to say "be careful what you tweet", insinuating he's likely seen more sides of this debate than he ever planned to.
