This game is an aid to reaching consensus in groups, teams or organisations, on the values and norms that you all consider to be important. By using and prioritising these cards, people will not only become more aware of what they value, but also get to appreciate other people's perspectives more.
The Values Game consists of 140 four-color playing cards, divided into three groups:
1. Values
A value is something that you find important to aspire to, that directs your actions. Some examples are: servitude, respect and justice.
2. Subjects
The are used to narrow down the discussion on values, to make it even more concrete. For example: management, education, media and politics.
3. Group norms
These are the rules that dictate what kind of behaviour is good or bad, wished for or unwanted, allowed or forbidden in groups and teams. For example: 'you must always speak the truth' or 'knowledge must be shared with others'. Each of these groups can be applied seperately as well in combination.
We also developed 'The Values Games Manual' for professional use (trainers, coaches, managers, teachers and consultants). This manual contains 20 different methods of play and additional theory, questions and exercises. You can find more information in the tab 'Manual' on this page.
