Hi, all!
Will you help me with a game that offers all the learning and ease-of-play of Ball Point Game, but can be played 100% online? Each participant is present via Zoom; solo video feeds, one person per camera. Simple props are allowed - anything that they could purchase at a local store, create themselves with household materials, or I could mail to them props.
What do you think is possible?
Cheers!

Fire up LeanKit.
Make a card with a bunch of subtasks, one for each player.
Clone card a lot.
Each member has to check their task.
Could do same w trello actually.
Added debriefing fun:
“The electronic tool caused collisions between players to have greater impact. In what ways do our tools increase the transaction cost of a handoff?”

Hi Richard!
Great question.
I like Derek's approach. Perhaps an improvement could involve a prescribed or preset (but arbitrary, like alpha order) sequencing of tasks/participant-names/numbers, highlighting bottlenecks and multitasking costs, and limits of having unavailable people.

Yes, great ideas! Thank you, Derek and David!
Maybe something like this:
- Goal is to complete as many tasks as possible.
- To complete a task, every person in the team has been assigned to it exactly once.
- One person is the assigned first person - must be the first person working on the task. (like: the person who holds the bag in a typical Ball Point solution)
- The next person can’t be immediately before or after you alphabetically by name. (like: can’t pass a ball to the person on your immediate left or right in Ball Point)
What else do we have for ideas? :-)
Cheers!

Richard - each card has a number between 1 & 6 and the person rolls a dice till such time he/she get the number. Introduces some randomness to the effort. And also relies on personal integrity to roll the dice till such time that the desired number appears.
Makes sense?

Richard,
That sounds interesting. I'd like to try to make it, but I'm not sure I
can commit in advance.

I’ll let Richard give his perspective, but from mine it was a great experience with some learnings from it. It was recorded and we had several tweaks that could be made to make it even more awesome. I don’t have a link to the recording to share, however.

Hi, Bachan!
I don't have a video to share - but I do have the game to share. Check out the Agile Point Game on Miro https://miro.com/miroverse/category/workshops/agile-point-game. This is the perfected "online ball point game", and it's there for everyone to use. Let me know if you want any help with it.
Be well!
