Play & Practice

Design a Shared Island

A tiny island is waiting for designers who can make room for more than one idea. Consider fictional requests, explore the space and explain how your plan responds. This tabletop challenge brings planning and cooperation into the same picture, with revision and compromise treated as creative choices within the task. Four optional ways to play let you choose a comfortable challenge and change it together.
