The Governance Game

Snakes and ladders for not-for-profit committees. Volunteer in Dubbo Region, an initiative of NFP Guide Foundation Limited.

Or set your own, in minutes Board table cards

Include the five minute huddle cards. Turn this off for a short session and every square draws a quick question or a judgement call instead.

How it runs.

Teams take turns to roll. The card for that square opens on the shared screen and the facilitator reads it aloud.
Every team answers, not just the team who rolled. In the room, each team shows its letter card. Online, type your letter in the chat. Every team locks in on the count of three.
Correct answers score points. Land on a ladder and answer correctly to climb. Land on a snake and answer correctly to talk your way out of it and stay put.
A team that answers correctly can be given a bonus roll by the facilitator.
The winner is the team with the most points when the clock runs out, not the team furthest up the board.
