Space Set Up

Water points and associated resources should be distributed throughout the space. Some should be easy to find, but at least one set should take some digging/searching.

Navigating roles

Give each person their instructions. This can happen in a rolling way. Let them know how to find other folk with their identifier, and make sure they've read and nominally understood the instruction sheet.

Turns

The Minister of Water should distribute new parts and resources based on their database (which can be updated via engineer notifications) 3 times over the course of each day of the game play period - 10 a.m., noon, and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday of a weekend conference, for instance. These can either be delivered to engineers or community members whose paths the Minister overlaps with, or delivered directly to the water pumps.

Introducing Technology

Halfway through the time period, Taarifa should be introduced. This includes having a printout of the technical assist to handout to participants at the half-time mark. This can be done at a set time and place ("meet me behind the podium at 10 a.m. on Sunday") or as your path crosses with players.

Discussion

Ask for participants to email you with their insights, or hold space towards the close of the game for participants to discuss the game.
