Description

A collaborative card game where the goal is to structure the governance of a codebase to overcome calamities. You take the role of the stakeholders of a codebase for public organizations and are given a random starting state and scenario. Depending on those drawn cards, different actor and object cards are added to the table. These should collaboratively be placed on the table so that everyone knows what their position signifies. Then, in two subsequent turns, random calamity cards are drawn, after which their effect will need to be explained. In between rounds, it is possible to negotiate and restructure the relationships between the different stakeholders on the table. If the group overcomes both calamities, they have won the game.
