22. Agile hr Luxembourg meetup DO NOT LOOK AT THE CARDS BEFORE STARTING TO PLAY Game rules Purpose of the game The candidate is immersed in an adventure and has 1 hour to fulfil his mission : to satisfy his client. • The first card is placed in the center of the table, text visible. • The other cards form a draw pile, face down. • One player reads the first card out loud. How to start How do we play? • On the back of the first card is the first game room. • In this room, there are numbers that correspond to the cards in the deck. • Each time you spot a number or letter on the room card (or on another card), you must go and look for the corresponding card in the deck and reveal it. • The revealed cards are placed face up at the centre of the table so that everyone can see them.
