這一兩年來投入桌遊的參與和引導次數是前所未料的多。
首部曲是自己投入桌遊的設計，並運用於領導力培訓。二部曲是朝邦去年首次運用議題性桌遊，讓跨世代之間在牌桌上激盪對話火花；三部曲，朝邦今年引進了大型桌遊-SDGs Game，展開社會永續發展倡議之路。
對於玩桌遊的最久遠經驗是大富翁，後來也學會了麻將。近來體驗過幾款歐洲進口的桌遊，讓玩家明顯感受到彼此自始至終都在競賽的迴圈之中，直到陣亡或變成Loser。在桌遊所設計的種種機制下，每位玩家隨時都在思考如何破解機制，或是運用機制創造對自己有利的情勢，爾虞我詐、相互較競的對立氛圍始終未曾消退。
對話力促進團隊學習
在領導力桌遊學習歷程，不會只停留在知識、概念層面的吸收，同時會運用情境模擬方式讓學習者快速有感和理解，並且讓玩家在數次過關回合中，加入對話機制，大大地促進玩家從競爭局勢跨進了彼此分享與疑慮釐清的合作氛圍，對話也學習到多元觀點和智能的可貴。
對話力跨越世代價值
在2018朝邦X他群的忘年對話日，跨世代玩家在牌桌上施展長才、用盡聲量去主張自己捍衛的價值，但也可以在多元對話之後，深入感受各自立場背後需要被理解和同理的角色和意義，更重要的是期待被包容和受尊重。
對話力開創不同世界
在每人都進入WWW世界後，飛速和隨時爆量的資訊會讓人明顯感受到世界逐漸變小(距離變短)和急速改變中。聯合國也大張旗鼓、催促世界各國加入2030永績發展目標的計劃，高高揭起「經濟、環境和社會」三大面向的十七項目標大旗。
朝邦也大步邁進從日本引進最新2030 SDGs Game，積極讓台灣各層面人士體驗到你我他之間不再有明顯的橫溝，只有交互影響的共同世界。引導玩家不斷在競逐目標時發生對話，了解單一面向的目標達成，造成其他兩大面向的系統性影響有多巨大。對話，最終穿透壁壘分明的角色隔閡，讓玩家們的目光關注彼此共創的世界，深怕局勢走樣了、耽憂系統間失衡了，遊戲氛圍變得不再較勁而是尋求支援和主動創造連結與合作。
桌遊塑造情境，對話融合你我。
By Vincent Chen, Board director, CP Yen Foundation
During the last year or so, I’ve been using board games for my facilitation activities in a surprising number of occasions, first in board games I designed, next a theme-based game introduced by the CP Yen Foundation to facilitate cross-generational dialogues, and then the larger-scale SDGs Game introduced by CP Yen Foundation earlier this year to promote social sustainability.
My earliest encounter with board games was Monopoly. Then came the game of Mahjong. Recently I started to play more board games from Europe. In these games, players are confined in cycles of competitions throughout until they lose. Under the rules of the games, all players have to be alert constantly, thinking about how to break through or create their advantages. The competition and the mind-playing dynamic remains throughout the games.
Dialogues stimulate more learning
The process of the Leadership game is more than learning the knowledge and concepts. Simulation activities speed up the learning process and lead the players into deeper dialogues. These dialogues help players to better share and clarify the issues and bring the group into a collaborative space. Through dialoguing, players learn to value diverse viewpoints and wisdom.
Dialogues transcend cross-generational values
On 2018 CP Yen Foundation held a “X TAQUN” Dialogue Day Workshop in which multi-generational players spoke out for their values through board games. After the diverse dialogues, players became more aware of the roles and meanings behind different perspectives, as well as the need to feel included and respected.
Dialogues open up a different world
As we enter the world of World Wide Web, the speed and wealth of information make the world seem like a smaller place (in distance). We also feel the world is rapidly changing. In response to all the changes, the United Nation calls upon all nations to adopt the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The agenda include 18 goals that are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental.
What will the world be like in 2030? CP Yen Foundation has introduced the 2030 SDGs Game – a card-based game designed in Japan – to the audience in Taiwan so the players can experience a world without clear boundaries, a world that is intertwined together, one in which everyone influences one another. Through facilitation, players dialogue among themselves in the competitions. They come to see the impact they make on the system when they achieve their individual goals. In the dialogues, players come close to the world they co-create. They become aware of the balance of the elements. At this point, the atmosphere changes from competitiveness to one of support, connection and collaboration.
The game sets the context. Dialogues bring us closer together.
