Reflections on TIPC use
This tool has been designed for group workshop use. Facilitators should help players get into their roles, keep track of time and give players their secret goals.
User comments included:
“Interesting to see how people with different backgrounds interpreted the concepts of the game.”
The game provided “an insight into how people behave in that kind of negotiation setting, when doing something experimental or outside their comfort zones.”
