Hi [@mention:449833773730792463], thanks for your quick reply and suggestions regarding incorporating some kind of simulation of operational “work” that can be distributed to relevant roles and make tensions surface – see how “Captain Sonar” does this quite effectively, albeit in order to punish ...

[@mention:449833773730792463], great points – specifically this one: “there are some pretty simple pencil and paper role playing systems out there that might have some of the mechanics you are looking for,” since a Holacracy RPG game would definitely need the “Edit” option a lot rather than only ...

Hi [@mention:449833773730792463],those are great insights and observations, thanks! The idea of a guarding-a-process role is especially interesting, it kinda reminds me of a season 2 episode of “How I met your mother” (spoiler-free, no worries) where two characters, Marshall and Barney, engaged e...

Hi everyone!An update:I’ve just completed a final hand-in of my MDes thesis document called “Learning Holacracy Fundamentals Through Play.” The paper documents a year-long design process that explored what Holacracy elements might be extracted and refitted for an introductory board game. The fina...

[@mention:450819477777465353]: my primary interest at this point is to observe whether players of “Little Bookcase Publications” v.3.0 start to understand the basic fundamentals of Holacracy via gameplay – i.e. how governance (roles, accountabilities) affects operations (projects, events, …) and ...

Cheers, [@mention:546244779278352720]!I’d love to pick your brain, for sure, as I experimented with a lot of this tricky balance between how much to include of Holacracy and still keep to a fun and challenging game (without players getting too bogged down).In regards to emergent play, as the Hola...

[@mention:455604675931811081]: Cheers! and nice tip with the boardgamesmaker.com for people wanting to use stand-ins for some of the game pieces if they want. Also a very cool site that I’ll be adding to my prototyping toolset as their bulk orders seem to be very helpful.[@mention:477139080146610...

Thanks all, for your encouraging responses!Currently, the prototype is quite an elaborate set-up of board pieces laser-cut from baltic plywood and close to eighty die-cut cards with rounded corners. That is to say, the exhibition setup-version of v.3.0 is not the easiest to mass-manufacture and d...
