2) Design agreement and boundaries for safe engagement

- Do not interrupt/talk over someone who holds the floor.

- Add anything that will support Social Safety and trust.

- What boundaries or prompts would you like to include?

- Allow time to reflect and to discuss different views.

- The host will guide the conversation along agreed lines.

 
 
 

3) Group Energy Field to navigate the future - 2030.

- Track Energy levels to promote speed and prevent burnout. The Energy Force is collective - if it fails for one, it stalls for all and ends the shared journey.    

- Players build group Resilience and Smart Innovation by sharing tokens to support a distressed player.

- See ‘Shifting States Over Time’ then reflect and share:

- What was my most common state after lockdown?

- What state am I in today?

 
 
 

4) Start playing

See Rules for Play for details. After 10 minutes of play you may renegoatiate the rules if you wish. The host has the final say.

 
 
 
 

5) Scoring the Emerging Future

Score points on the Mastery Ladder using Character and Energy State to impact your shared story.

 
 
 
 

6) Navigate A Situation

When the Spinner points to The Situation then take a card from the Situation Deck.  

- The player reads out the top 3 paragraphs that describe the dilemma then pauses to consider and answer the questions about their reaction and response. The group then adds their comments.
