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

[Maggi (librarymaggi]

That's awesome, Fran!  Thanks for sharing that game.  I'd not seen it  
before.

I've played the Getting Real game, based on Susan Campbell's awesome  
book.  http://www.amazon.com/dp/0915811928
Not about consensus, but rather about good communication.
You can buy the game here:
