Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Board Games that teach consensus/cooperation

[Fran Hart (hartmagic]

This is a board game based on NVC, Non-Violent Communication.  It helps to see 
the place "beyond right-doing and wrong-doing" the underlying premise of 
consensus & cooperation.  The www.cnvc.org website has some other games as well.


The No-Fault Zone Game uses a map and card decks to guide you, 
step by step, to the clarity, understanding and connection you want-within 
yourself and with others. It makes conversations visible, tangible, and fun for 
ages 5-95 and across the sometimes-great divide.
