With several different businesses to choose from as you play through the game, players can gain insights into the differing impacts that an attack might have, and the various approaches that organisations might take to minimising the cost of an attack, and regaining access to their own data.

The Chat GPT component of the game gives players the opportunity to enter into negotiation with a ‘real’ (or real-time, at any rate), ransomeware organisation, while the cards are used to let players decide what actions they will take to resolve the situation, and how to spend their available cybersecurity budget.

James can come and facilitate this game in your organisation, as part of your security training provision. There are advantages to having an expert like James there to debrief the game, obviously, but mechnically, the game is simple enough to be run internally (subject to having a pro GPT account), once you know how to play. Get in touch with James via LinkedIn or check out his other services at the Bores Group Ltd website.

Also, don’t forget to book your place for the upcoming Play Secure Conference on the 21st and 22nd June, 2024. James has been running this for four years now, and it was this event which inspired the creation of this game. This year’s event is also dear to Ludogogy’s heart, as I’ll be speaking there on the use of ‘Keepsake’ Games for Wellness.

This deck has been carefully crafted to enable facilitators and business leaders to pick through specifi business objectives and evaluate any inherent risk.

Guided by the cards, you will facilitate an holistic conversation around all aspects of the objective, while drilling into the potential impacts of going ahead. The group will consider the implications of a range of universal risk categories as outlined on the ‘Risky Business’ cards to fully understand, measure and mitigate the risks.

The process will help the group to identify the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats contained within the objective and enable a confident transition to purposeful action.

Put simply, ‘Risky Business’ provides peace of mind when making those all important business decisions.

To coincide with each Show and Tell episode, Darren will be making the featured deck FREE for 30 days. So don’t forget to keep coming back to see what the featured deck of the month can do for you.

Free to use as often as you wish from the date this Show ‘n’ Tell drops, until early New Year (access via the ipsodeckso.com free membership option).

The Great Christmas Deck has two types of cards. The first contains a series of light-hearted festive-themed questions to get your players talking and getting to know one another a little bit better. Find out who thinks that Christmas presents should all be homemade, or which members of your team love, or hate, marzipan. Perfect for getting the fun started at your office end-of-year get-together. And once the conversation is flowing abit you can throw in some ‘Warm and Fuzzy’ conversational interludes, inviting folk to share their favourite memories of this special time of year.

The second deck recreates the fun, and maybe frustrating, experience of solving a sliding tile puzzle. With a suitably Christmassy image as your target, you have to slide your cards around the Ipsodeckso table (no cheating by lifting and dropping, please) utilising the single space to manoeuvre all the card into their correct places to complete the picture. Don’t forget that you can duplicate the URL of your Ipsodeckso window as many times as you like – to get the same card selection and layout – so why not run this as a competitive team challenge.

To coincide with each Show and Tell episode, Darren will be making the featured deck FREE for 30 days (in this case, BOTH decks until the festivities are over, early in the New Year). So don’t forget to keep coming back to see what the featured deck of the month can do for you.

Memory Lane is a deck made up of ‘Experience’ and ‘Timeline’ cards. Experiences are a number of different everday occurences or activities which all players will be familiar with, such as ‘Listening to Music’ or ‘Finding a Job’. The Timeline cards encourage conversations about how those experiences have changed over the lifetime of the players/learners. For example, they ask about your earliest personal encounter with the experience, or how you think it might look in the future.

Memory Lane is a great tool for facilitators to explore people’s readiness to accept change, and to make a start on helping an organisation to create a tailored approach to any particular change initiative,with consideration of their people’s attitudes and needs.

Splatman is a social card game blending the visual essence of the Iconic arcade game Pacman with a game mechanic very similar to Poker. Each player is a bug exterminator with a mission to splat as many mutant cockroaches and ticks as possible, while clearing out bug eggs. This game is highly competitive while helping to develop a forward thinking, strategic mindset.

It’s also a great workout for everyone’s memory and an interesting test of communication skills! “I’m going up to the left of the tick!” “The bottom tick?” “No, the other tick!”

This Diversity and Inclusion deck disguises itself as a social activity for groups. A conversational glimpse into a possible future where humanity has failed to preserve our beautiful planet and in a desperate bid for survival, has sought sanctuary amongst the stars.

That’s right folks, the year is 2127 and Sanctuary players are the last vestiges of humanity, throwing themselves at the mercy of other worldly species who have kindly agreed to offer a fresh start on their precious, life sustaining planets!

The cards hold a bio of each alien species and provide details about their respective culture and home worlds (each drawing on one or more parallels to areas directly related to the diversity and inclusion conversation). Players are encouraged to imagine how their life as the handful of refugees might look and feel as they try to integrate into each alien civilisation.

After this fun, visioning experience, players will be asked to place the shoe on the other foot and imagine if each alien species had lost their home world and Earth was their sanctuary.

• How would they be welcomed?
• How would they fit into our society?
• How might we view and treat them?
• How might we adjust to accommodate and include them?

This deck removes participants from our immediate reality, creating a safe space to venture into an unguarded, exploratory conversation from the perspective of a minority group, while holding up a mirror to the myriad of issues impacting so many people, on Earth, today.

As a bonus, because Show & Tell is a nice relaxed ‘chatty’ format, Darren and I also got to talk about my project too. The Museum of Impossible Objects already exists as a virtual deck on Deckible, but now I want to bring it to life as a physical deck – by running a Kickstarter – you can sign up for updates here.

And if you want to know more about the origin story of the deck, there’s an article about that too.

In this tour, Darren shows me around, and answers my questions, which I hope will be the same ones you wanted to ask if you had been there. We take a look at the library of existing card decks and how to use them, including how to give a cohort of learners access to the same set of cards. Then we take a look at how to upload and use your own card designs.
