Yes, And

Yes, And
Remote or in person

Plan something together. Every sentence has to start with yes, and.

Pairs plan an event and every single sentence must begin with 'yes, and'. Nobody can reject anything, so the plan becomes gloriously unworkable β€” and then you run it again with 'yes, but' and the difference in the room is impossible to miss.
