Up one levelLUDOVALUATE is a game on evaluation
Introduction
LUDOVALUATE¨ is a game on evaluations. It is played by 3-4 evaluation teams, and lasts around 2-3 hours.Its objectives are:
- Balancing quantity of information against limited resources (spend as little days as necessary to achieve the best possible result)
- Dealing with uncertainty due to random and subjective elements (cards, dice, risk, judgement by other group)
- Arriving at completion despite insufficient information
- Reflecting real conditions, where plans have to be changed, unforeseen problems emerge, and a constant look on the budget is necessary.
Rules of the Game
The game has 4 squares, which reflect 4 different dimensions and steps of evaluation.Each square has 24 fields, which the players move across by throwing a dice.Each Team has a budget of 24 day-jettons. When arrived at a new field, a card needs to be drawn. Different fields (data, document, meeting, team, luck, crisis) refers to different piles of cards. A higher number of cards exist for data and meeting.
Cards are specific for each stage of the game. Cards can be also de-selected by the facilitator for specific target groups (e.g. national only). Swapping and trading of cards between groups is possible (optional).
The game lasts an agreed number of 24-32 days or rounds in total.
Each team needs to divide the money available between the 4 stages.
Each move or card (activity) is 1 day of work (and costs 1 day-jetton paid into the cash).
Stage completion or move to next level:
Each team assesses if a stage is completed. It then explains its achievements, and asks grading by the other groups.The other groups
assign 0-10 bonus budget days (paid from the cash). The team thus may move to the next stage, or decide staying at this stage for a higher score.
The game can be interrupted for or be followed by a de-briefing session afterwards so as to stress links to theory (but is suitable also for the beginning of a seminar or course, or as a last session).
