Let's Play! Team Building with Games

Games have been in integral part of our lives since prehistoric times. Games have given us a rich history of war, insurrections, conquered nations, diplomacy, love, sex, piracy, torture, slavery, punishment, education, religion, magic, voodoo, gambling, sports and more... but those legendary stories can be shared another time.

Games are simply put... fun! Games can be competitive, cooperative, and/or collaborative.

There are many types of game in which we will explore and analyze some game dynamics.

• This presentation will be historically educational, with a focus on the best of what abstract games have to offer.
• You will learn what it takes to be a good player, and we'll put your new skills to the test.
• Plan on staying a bit later as you discover the simple joy found in games and how they can be used to build deeper connections in your project teams.

Lets Play! I challenge you to make the next move..
