Explore the possible outcomes
You can read every outcome before playing. Compare a theme with a real example from your life, and keep any part that gives you a useful question.
The Wild Prototype
You learn by trying the idea that sounds slightly impossible. Even when it falls over, your attempt gives the team useful information.
A prompt to try: Test the risky idea on a small scale.
The Team Connector
You help separate ideas become one shared attempt. Your strength is spotting the contribution that a quieter teammate has not offered yet.
A prompt to try: Invite one overlooked suggestion.
The Comeback Commentator
You keep a failed attempt from becoming a bad mood. With you around, the team can lose the tower and still win the afternoon.
A prompt to try: Celebrate one genuine effort out loud.
