GROUP PROJECT

This year’s Winter Workshop Group Project is a strategy board game inspired by “Carcassonne,” integrating Transportation, Planning, Design, Resource Management, and Crisis Management principles. Teams will build connected and evolving communities using limited resources and navigating common challenges to create the most attractive, efficient, and accessible spaces. Each player will achieve their own goals through strategic cooperation and creative gameplay tactics. Prizes will be awarded for individual and team achievements.
