Facilitator Guide
IMPACT is optimized for a facilitated experience. Our team recommends following the guidelines laid out in the Facilitator Guide.
Things to Keep in Mind
There is no right or wrong answer to the reflection question action cards – the goal is to think about your interpretation and have exploratory conversation with your fellow players.
If you aren’t familiar with a piece of information on the character cards – or a tool listed on the technology cards – feel free to research it and learn more about it.
Instructions
Step 1: Select your cards.
There are two options to select random cards. The Shuffle All button (located in the top left corner underneath the home icon) will shuffle all three cards. You can also click on each individual card to randomize that card.
The lock icon, in the bottom, left-hand corner of each card, allows you to lock, or freeze, that specific card. If you lock a card, you can use the Shuffle All button to shuffle the unlocked cards.
Step 2: Read your cards and complete the action card prompt.
Use the character card and technology card to fill in the respected blanks on the action card.
If you aren’t familiar with a technology or any character’s information, please feel free to do some research and learn more about it.
Step 3: Discuss the completed action card.
