Game Variations Numerous game variations exist, here are a few: Switch: Hand out one Topic Card to each player (Peer Insight cards are not in play yet.) at the beginning of game play. Have each player read their Topic Card out loud. Player #1 can then decide to switch their Topic Card with another player, or not. Proceed around the table until each player has been allowed to switch with another player. Upon completion (each player will have their Topic Card in front of them), put Peer Insight cards in play. Note: Remove Pick Two, Pass cards and Invigorate cards from the Peer Insight deck, prior to play. Players Choice: The game leader removes the Peer Insight cards from the table, and then informs players they will decide whether to answer their Topic Card with an I have a Praise about or I have a Concern about statement. 9. Challenge/Confirm: Each deck includes 10 Challenge/Confirm tents, which are optional for play. When used, hand out one tent to each player prior to play. A player simply places the tent with their response in front of them following an answer to a Praise or Concern statement. Confirm states they believe the answer, and the answer is generally consistent with their understanding of the situation. Challenge, if they disagree. This is a great process for creating awareness and understanding. Copyright BIZgames, Inc. All rights reserved. 10.
