The Glass Plate Game

A Cooperative Thinking Game



 

About the game

The object of playing the game is to spark creative and interesting conversation between the players. Nobody wins. The placement of pieces on the cards marks the expression and manipulation of ideas or concepts. As with conversation, the game is generally played without a goal at the start. Players create and label idea-cards as whim directs them, extending lines of thought that catch the groups imagination. The rules of the game are intended to be an agreement rather than a set of statutes; as written they enforce clarity, cooperation and ease of exploration.
