I thought this game worked quite well. I can’t remember where I heard this suggestion but I recall someone saying that using “rock, paper, scissors” may be a safer alternative because of the reduced personal physicality.

I had lots of success using this game to discuss benefits of iterations and collaboration with a group of experienced project managers. I replaced the Thumb Wars game with paper-rock-scissors. For me, the paper-rock-scissors game was easier to demonstrate and more comfortable to play with this group. Got several big ‘ah-ha’ smiles from the group on iteration 2, when we changed the rules and were able to generate lots of winnings!

I like this one – now to find an opportunity to use it. Hmm…
