Game mechanics
- Players: The game is best played in small to medium-sized groups (4–12 participants), allowing for rich discussion, peer learning, and inclusive participation. It can also be adapted for one-on-one facilitation or larger group settings with breakout discussions.
- Location: The game is suitable for both formal and non-formal learning environments, such as classrooms, youth centers, community hubs, or workshops. It requires a quiet and comfortable space where participants can sit in a circle or around a table to read and discuss the cards.
- Duration: A typical game session lasts approximately 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the number of players and the depth of discussion. Facilitators may choose to use a selection of cards or multiple rounds based on time availability and learning objectives.
The facilitator needs to read the guidebook and then divides the cards in piles according to the number of groups created.
Players choose a card which includes a question and they reflect about the possible answer(s) with follow up comments, examples and further questions from the facilitator.
The game is available in English, Dutch, Greek and Romanian.
There is a guide available for the facilitator.
