After warming up with the departure cards, choose a challenge card randomly (thinking of a number, using dice, or just stopping the carousel where you feel you have to do it). The five stages of the design process where the challenge card can be helpful are indicated, but only as a suggestion (feel free to use the challenge cards as you prefer!) Then, embrace the proposed challenge by role-playing the assigned innovation role. You can consult the role cards to know the innovation roles’ main features if needed. Let’s play!!!
