"Though there are many collections of training and simulation
games, only a few are able to give you the understanding and
guidance you need to take full advantage of the power of games as
learning tools. Of those few, none is more comprehensive, more fun,
more practical than Thiagi and Son's Template— a master
trainer and master player who has been bringing new levels of
functioning fun to business and education for more than thirty
years. His son Raja has taken the best of his father's wisdom, and
added both clarity and humor."
— Bernie DeKoven, author, DeepFUN.com, The Well-Played
Game
"At various meetings over the years, Thiagi has been sharing
his
innovative approaches to action learning and we've all been
taking
notes. Now, in Design Your Own Games and Activities, Thiagi
and Raja
provide us with do it yourself templates. My working life just
became
easier, better and a lot more fun! Thanks."
