Accreditation! The Curriculum Approval Game
Rules
The game is played with 2-4 players (people can play in teams:
either way, we will refer to them as ‘players’ throughout). Each
player chooses a token and places it on the ‘Start’ square. The
aim is to be the first to get to the ‘Finish’ square and get your
course accredited.
There are three zones. Each zone has a pile of cards of the
same colour. Players need to collect quality stars (yellow
buttons) to enable them to move between zones. Players must
‘pay’ 5 quality stars to leave a zone, so they will keep looping the zone until they have
enough stars and reach the point of transfer to the next zone (the arrowed square). Place 5
stars back in the pot when you move up a zone. You can keep any other stars you have
accumulated for use in the next zone.
Select a player to start. The person on the right of the player picks up a card of the
appropriate colour and reads out the dilemma and the options available, but not the
consequences of the options. Once an option has been selected, the consequences are
revealed, and the player moves and/or picks up quality stars as directed on the card. If a
player lands on a ‘C’ square they must take a chance card and move and/or collect stars as
directed on that card. The first player to reach the Finish square is the winner.
Other rules
You can cheat and skip out of a zone if things seem to be getting tedious and/or repetitive.
You can make up your own dilemmas.
