This is a game on governance of Public Code. Use this as a way to get a conversation and reflection about governance started. We aim to use it during early incubation of a codebase, or perhaps even earlier. You can of course play the game totally without our involvement, it is probably useful for any constellation that have a codebase to govern.
You need a few people to play with you. There is no strict number, but you all need to be able to see and reach the cards on the table. For the actual rules, see the rules cards.
If you want to use the game in a workshop or online, see our workshop guide.
See PRINTING for tested printing methods.
We love when people want to help improve the game. Please read CONTRIBUTING for our process for submitting issues and pull requests to us. Also take a look at our Code of Conduct. We want this to be an inclusive and welcoming community.
It is the intent of the Governance Game development community to develop the game collaboratively. Adhering to the criteria set forth in the Standard for Public Code gives us confidence in the process. Therefore, the Foundation for Public Code is committed to maintaining and developing the Governance Game at a level of quality that meets the Standard for Public Code.
- Change governance model to a more community centric model
- Allow for multiple target groups of the game, discussion #147
