Description
Short game used to embed map orientation, compass skills, teamwork and trust.
Aim is to navigate a blindfolded scout from the X to the grey square, using compass points, but with rules.
Resources
blindfold x number of players.
drogna board pieces (A4)
Largeish hall.
Instructions
Very much based on The Adventure Game, set many years ago (http://www.quarks.co.uk/~dave/advgames.html)
Lay board out as per diagram
Set out rule(s)
eg. a scout may only move to an empty square
may only move to an 'unused' colour (if no one else is stood on a red, then you can move to a red)
or may only move to a piece with odd or even number of sides
with younger players you choose simpler rules, older players (explorers) then you may keep some rules secret with the aim they work them out!!
Watches/patrols take turns to navigate their player to the centre of the board using compass headings (N,S,E,W,etc...)
Games tend to last 10mins ish, but useful to repeat and encourage tactics/thinking ahead.
