A table can be a small territory

Goal: listen to other ideas, make a decision as a team and explain how it can affect a living being.

Audience
Ages 8 and up, with a teacher's guidance. Each story states its own recommended age.
Materials
The board printed on four sheets, any tokens the class already has, the rulebook and a device with the console; or the physical game, if the school already has it. You do not need to buy anything.

Before you open the door

  1. Read the rulebook. You only need to know how a turn works, the four card types and how the marker moves.
  2. Choose at least two Guardians. Their cards are online and in the console.
  3. Set up tables of 2 to 8 players. Several small tables work better than one huge table.
  4. Agree on who reads, who moves and how to listen. One simple rule: no one answers until the reader has finished.
  5. Rotate these tasks. Everyone should read, move and listen at least once.

What the table told us

One sheet per table. There is no need to write names.

Guardian chosen
Team decision
Reason
Question left open

To observe, not to grade: Did they listen to another proposal? Did they explain their decision? Did they distinguish story from fact?
