Gold of the Desert Kings
Guiding Thought
A game provides an exciting and memorable experience that simulates the pressure of our fast-paced environment.
Purpose of the Session
In "Gold of the Desert Kings," teams race each other across the desert, battling the elements in their attempt to reach the mountains and mine for gold. Equipped with a fixed budget and limited resources each team must balance the challenge of the desert with the mission to return and cash in their gold. The power of this simulation emerges when the participants see that when faced with the pressure of competition and limited time, teams make hasty decisions they later regret.
