Game of creativity

Abstract

An educational game to be played by two or more players. The game is intended to teach the players to solve problems and address opportunities through collective and individual responsibility. The players work as a team. The game includes a game board marked with a playing track. The track is divided into four sides with four corner spaces. Each side consists of a sequence of spaces and the sides are distinctly labelled. A game token for the team is moved sequentially along the track. A plurality of cards is shared by all players of the game to be drawn by the team. The cards are in at least four subsets distinctively marked, preferably with the moniker “define”, “explore”, “innovate” and “incubate” respectively. The team rolls a dice to obtain an indication of how they should move their token on the track. The side on which the team token is located directs which subset of cards the team should draw from. A particular problem solving and opportunity addressing methodology is embedded in the sequence the team follows as it moves around the board.

A board game as claimed in  claim 1  including a fifth set of “quote” cards; a sixth set of “random” cards; and wherein said track contains spaces marked to instruct the players to pick up a said random card or a said opportunity card along with the card for the side of the track when said token lands in said space.
