Introduction
The game you are about to play explores how a tobacco control alliance
could make use of social media, blended with other activities. It empha-
sises the interplay of goals, audiences and methods and is played as a
team. Each table is a team and will complete the game tasks as the meal Goals & Resources
progresses. Although it has a serious purpose, the game should be fun to Stakeholders
play and will be competitive between table teams. Prizes will be given!

Game sequence
1. We’ll explain the game, and describe “Averageville” - a typical town
where we might be working, with a range of problems and opportuni-
ties. Each table will have a different focus for discussion. Two A2 sheets
Method / Project Cards
will be issued to each table (see right). Before the main course starts,
each team should complete the sheet outlining the goals of the pro-
gramme and the main stakeholders involved.
2. Following the main course, each team will receive a set of cards show- 2
ing various methods that might be used to assist the programme. Each
card consists of a title, a description and a cartoon or photo (to make
each card visually different) and a number indicating the likely cost of
the method (1,2 or 3). Teams are asked to assemble a programme
from cards whose total cost does not exceed a budget given to each
table (not the same for all tables!). The selected cards should reflect the
GOALS and STAKEHOLDERS already identified and address the issues mento

verbal presentation - sheets will be put on the wall so other teams can see
the results.
The organisers will examine the sheets after dinner and chose those that
they think give the most inventive / creative / interesting presentation.
