What it feels like
Every team has a list of small problems nobody has time to fix, and a room full of talents nobody asked about. Tonight, we put the two together. Here's how it works. In a private turn, write down one real team problem, and one odd talent of your own. Each team is dealt one person's problem and another person's talent, with no names attached. After ninety seconds to plan, each team pitches a fix that uses the talent to solve the problem. Then everyone invests a pretend hundred dollars in one pitch, but never their own. Each investment scores two points for every member of the team that won it.
How to play
- Take a private turn each: write down a small problem you have, and an odd talent or object you own.
- Teams are dealt one person's problem and another person's talent, with no names attached.
- Ninety seconds to plan, then each team pitches the product that uses the talent to solve the problem.
- Everyone invests their pretend $100 in one company — not their own.
Scoring: Each investment scores 2 for every member of the team that won it.
You'll get prompts like
- “A small thing that slows this team down every week”
- “A meeting that could be something else”
What you need
3 to 10 people and one phone, tablet or laptop to pass around — or everyone on their own phone in a room. Nothing to download, no accounts. The best lines can be sealed into your group's Almanac and come back in later games.
