By playing @Stake, participants learn that productive conversations thrive off of authentic listening and multiple perspectives. From infrastructure needs to inter-agency collaboration and PR campaigns, @Stake can be used to explore a variety of issues in your communities. In the past, it's been used for:

@Stake is played with 3-5 players in the same room. After introducing their character’s perspectives, players jump into brainstorming mode to think of solutions to public issues. Players then take turns proposing their ideas and arguing their point of view to the table’s Decider. The group debates to reach a solution that is best for all through intense deliberation. The best ideas that emerge from the deliberations win!
