Game Instructions

IntroductionThe game you are about to play explores how a tobacco control alliance

could make use of social media, blended with other activities. It empha-sises the interplay of goals, audiences and methods and is played as ateam. Each table is a team and will complete the game tasks as the mealprogresses. Although it has a serious purpose, the game should be fun toplay and will be competitive between table teams. Prizes will be given!

Game sequence1. Well explain the game, and describe Averageville - a typical town

where we might be working, with a range of problems and opportuni-ties. Each table will have a different focus for discussion. Two A2 sheetswill be issued to each table (see right). Before the main course starts,each team should complete the sheet outlining the goals of the pro-gramme and the main stakeholders involved.

2. Following the main course, each team will receive a set of cards show-ing various methods that might be used to assist the programme. Eachcard consists of a title, a description and a cartoon or photo (to makeeach card visually different) and a number indicating the likely cost ofthe method (1,2 or 3). Teams are asked to assemble a programmefrom cards whose total cost does not exceed a budget given to eachtable (not the same for all tables!). The selected cards should reflect the

GOALS and STAKEHOLDERS already identified and address the issuesand opportunities offered by the scenario.

3. Having selected the cards Teams should now note the resources thatthey think will be required to make the programme work.

PresentationEach team should attempt to make their sheet as visually interesting aspossible to put over the thinking behind their programme. There will be noverbal presentation - sheets will be put on the wall so other teams can seethe results.

The organisers will examine the sheets after dinner and chose those thatthey think give the most inventive / creative / interesting presentation.Prizes will be awarded!
