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. https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7072814056603716910 https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7072989397892975918 Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. It often indicates a user profile. While we never know the real answer to this question, it has been very enjoyable reading the tweets about the debate. This whole wheels vs doors debate is throwing me for a loop. What is a wheel? What qualifies as a door? What if this is all a big ploy by the window industry? Do windows count as doors?

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! This sort of unimportant debate has proven to be an essential component of social media culture. Unlike other internet discussions, such as that of the 2015 dress that will go down in infamy, this wheels vs. doors question doesn't rely on your personal perspective or how you physically see something — it's a matter of logic that would be nearly impossible to solve. Which, of course, scratches our brains in a new and interesting way, making us all vigorously curious about the inane question of whether the number of doors in the world is greater than the number of wheels.

The debate heated up on TikTok once people started using mathematics and calculations to figure out how many doors and wheels there were in the world, trying to settle the debate once and for all. On March 8th, TikToker koowaluh posted five, separate TikToks that chronologically attempted to find the answer through math. His part one video [9] received roughly 277,400 plays and 25,400 likes in less than 24 hours (shown below, left). His "Final Calculations" video [10] received roughly 7,600 plays and over 600 likes in less than 24 hours (shown below, right). In it, he concluded that there were roughly 82.5 billion doors in the world and roughly 65.25 billion wheels, effectively proving that there were more doors. He stressed in the series of TikToks the importance of what constitutes a wheel, such as something like a door hinge or a gear not fitting that definition. 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 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. I can never look at a wheel or a door the same. And the fact that we’ll never truly know the answer makes it worse. I have just discovered the debate on whether there are more wheels in the world vs more doors in the world.

i hate the wheel vs door debate bc team wheels is like those kids that keep making up rules because theyre not winning #teamdoors TeamWheels have pointed out how many objects have more than one wheel. For example, there are four wheels on a standard car, and two on bikes and wheelchairs. 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. 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? 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 DoorsRyan 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. The question is just random, like "is a hot dog a sandwich?" It has no technical answer — but simply put, it's kind of fun to debate. Point blank: there is no way to know whether there are more wheels than doors. 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. 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.

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? 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…
