Eagle's Flight Workshop

This was a beneficial and enjoyable workshop, in which a man came into our school from a company called 'Eagle's Flight Ireland', in order to show us their board game, 'Gold of the Desert Kings'.

This board game was actually intended to subconsciously teach us valuable tips and advice about effective project management, and did so through a lot of clever symbolism, which I enjoyed attempting to decipher.

The aim of the game was to collect as much gold as possible without dying (within the theoretical world of the game) with limited resources, including time.

There were various risks and many rewards and complicated rules for the teams to play by.

Luckily, none of the teams perished,

and afterwards, we were interested to hear the man explain what the symbols in the game represented and how we could apply them to projects throughout our whole lives.

I would be interested to see more games like this.
