5.0 out of 5 stars
superb cook-book,
This review is from: Gamestorming: A Playbook for Innovators, Rulebreakers, and Changemakers (Paperback)
Great set of tools for anybody who needs to get some creative juices flowing. But be careful - in case of doubt, test the tool before use, for example "anti-problem" did not seem to work very well for me. But the reason might not be in the tool, but in the fool who is using it :-). Buy it, read it, have fun with it, and as with any cook-book, go find your favorite recipes by cooking, not by reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Reference Book,
This review is from: Gamestorming: A Playbook for Innovators, Rulebreakers, and Changemakers (Paperback)
A perfect combination of theory and practise - the first third of the book explains the authors' beliefs and thoughts on the concept of serious collaborative gaming and the rest of the book really is a "playbook" putting these theories into practise. I strongly recommend anyone at literally any level of business and experience to buy this book.
