Abstract
Serious games offer a relatively low cost, highly
engaging alternative to traditional forms of soft skills
training. The current paper describes an approach taken to
designing a serious game for the training of soft skills. A
tabletop prototype of the game was created and evaluated
with a group of 24 participants. Initial findings suggest that the game successfully created an environment in which it was advantageous to engage in appropriate collaborative
decision making behaviors, as well as providing built-in
opportunities for a tutor to guide under-performing groups
