When and how to play

 

Play the Pangarden Game to:

• understand and address repetitive patterns
• realise goals
• optimise relationships
• addressful stress in your life
• work on an urgent problem
• clear a challenging issue

You can also support a friend or a group of people you are involved with by playing the game with them.

Pangarden is not a competitive game – there are notypical 'winners' and no 'loosers'.
The aim is to solve a problem in harmony for all involved and for the benefit of the greater balance.
The 'winner' in this game is balance and evolution.

That's how you play the Game:

1. Arrange the game components (MapMat piles, card boxes, etc.) on an empty surface/table.
Familiarise yourself with the different card sets.

2. Describe the issue/situation you want to address on the game-chart.

3. Lay out the situation:

• select a MapMat for yourself and place it
• select MapMat(s) for the other/goal/problem and place them in relationship to yours, so that it feels right

4. Describe situation, observe insights and feelings; document them.

5. With the question
"What do I need to better understand and solve this issue?"
intuitively choose one of the options:

• select card(s) from a set you feel drawn to and place them where you feel they belong to
• place more MapMats to represent more aspects
• select and place suitable sparkles
• talk more about the layout
• move MapMats/cards to reflect any changes you notice

6. Observe new insights and feelings; describe and document them.

7. Repeat step 5 & 6 until the game-process feels complete.

8. Select integration support action if needed.
