Reviews of the Games

Used by many tens of thousands of learners in education, at work or at home, these games have been translated into multiple languages and universally praised by reviewers:

 

The Development Game

I have no hesitation in recommending the set of cards for The Development Game. They are very well-produced, adaptable and even relatively inexperienced facilitators would be able to devise a range of imaginative ways of using them. They will be finding a place in my toolkit and I can envisage using them for a number of different purposes in my consultancy and training work.'  Bruce Britton, Framework Network, TrainingZONE website

'Having tried a variety of management games in the past I found this game one of the best methods of encouraging discussion, either with an individual or in groups. It is also a useful and comfortable tool in confirming understanding and knowledge of management skills.'  National Association for Staff Development (NASD)

The Feedback Game

'It is invaluable, it is, on the face of it, lighthearted; it is quick, simple and short - yet provides powerful feedback to individuals, as well as providing practice in giving feedback to people. We now routinely take it to all events, and often use it to open and close programmes.'   Voula Grand, Grand Sherman Consulting

'... could be very helpful for team- and trust-building exercises ... I found the cards could be surprisingly powerful and soon touched on delicate areas.'     NLP World

'... it's been used in prisons, hospital, retail companies ... so why not EFL teacher training!'     The Teacher Trainer

The Motivation Game

'…a deceptively simple tool for exploring fundamental ideas at the heart of performance and performance management at an individual level, in group and team development, and one-to-one coaching.  Highly recommended.' Training Journal

‘Having previously used The Development Game by Gower to great success, I was keen to see if this game lived up to its predecessor.  Feedback from my team and those who took part in the game showed clearly that this was an excellent method of approaching a subject that can be very personal.  For a managerial point of view, it identifies motivational areas that may not have been considered before.'  Journal of the National Association for Staff Development
