The «Structures Game» is an educational tool that highlights the challenges specific to organizational structures—that is, the way tasks, resources, and responsibilities are distributed among different individuals within an organization. Through a playful approach, the game allows participants to experience the dynamics inherent in different structural configurations, and then analyze the challenges and issues involved in organized action—whether in terms of communication, coordination, or the engagement of different participants, among other factors. In particular, it provides an opportunity to observe the emergence of informal social structures that overlap with the organization’s formal rules.
This box contains instructions for the game master and the players, as well as 60 cards representing the players' resources.
This game allows players to form a team of 11 to 16 players and experiment with different organizational structures and constraints. It includes 88 playing cards.
