Game of four

Game of four is meant for teams, but could also be played solo. 

  1. Shuffle the cards and give each player 4 cards. The rest of the cards become the draw pile. Put four cards open on the table. This is your initial research design.

  2. One team member starts. The player chooses one of the cards from his hand to add to the research approach currently on the table, and then chooses which card from the design is least appropriate for the current project and puts it at the bottom of the draw pile. Each choice is explained to the rest of the team.
    If you do not have a card to improve the current research design, then put all the cards in your hand at the bottom of the draw pile and draw 4 new cards. Then the turn goes to the next player.

  3. Repeat the steps, until there is a full round with nobody adding anything to the research design.
