Three Wishes
February 23, 2012
Nobody ever gets everything they want. In a world of limited resources, how can you negotiate, maneuver, collaborate, and form and break alliances to get at least some of what you want? Join Dale Emery and Elisabeth Hendrickson as they play test a new simulation called "Three Wishes." A genie offers to grant three wishes. You have a wish list. Everybody else has their own wish list. And the genie takes bribes. How will you get as many of your wishes as you can?
$99 Saturday - Huh? Aha. Wow!
March 3, 2012
Dale Emery and Elisabeth Hendrickson lead this immersive class in designing, facilitating, and debriefing simulations and games to maximize learning. In this workshop, we'll practice turning commonly available materials into games in a very short time frame, then run those games to explore facilitation and debriefing techniques. Along the way, you'll learn about essential game design elements such as Chance, Balance, and Interference and how these game design elements can be used to design games to address specific learning objectives.
