NUMBER OF PLAYERS:
Two or more, though ideally played with larger groups.
PREPARATION:
-Write down one way you would like to change the world for the better.
GAMEPLAY:
-Choose a color for your thinking process. If group is small, rank colors in order of preference as you may have to play more than one role.
WHITE: will provide facts
YELLOW: will be optimistic
BLACK: will be judgmental
RED: will express feelings
GREEN: will express possibilities and alternatives
-Draw polygon of three to ten three-inch long sides such that player's shapes can align edge to edge. Color your polygon with chosen color.
-Find others with whom to form an assemblage. Ideally, this group will have at least six members but could be as small as two.
-Create a tangram-like assemblage with your polygons. This will become your logo.
-Player one shares their desire to change the world, after which other players engage in thinking process based on chosen color. Each color should have a voice if possible. Player one takes notes, revising tangram if desired. Rotate through whole group.
-Group debates which idea is best to adopt as its mission.
-Group works together to carry out its mission.
Idea is based on an assemblage of Manuel Delanda’s book ASSEMBLAGE THEORY and Edward de Bono’s book SIX THINKING HATS.
