How it is played

For playing you need three cubes: Role 1, Action and Role 2 (the fourth one – the other Action cube – is an extension item to the number of actions). Firstly, a player throws two of the cubes (Role 1 and Action), gets a combination of a cultural role and an action, which invites a player to get into the Role 1 and make an action from this role in the manner that can be appropriate for the culture of Role 1.

Then the player throws the third cube – Role 2 – and has to adjust their utterance in accordance with the Role 2 culture.

For example, the following combination may occur: 

Role 1 – German Head of representative office

Action – is disagreeing about the marketing strategy with

The player has to reproduce the way of disagreeing appropriate to the Role 1 culture

Then the player throws the third cube and gets:

Role 2 – Japanese President of Company 

So the full task goes like this: A German Head of rep.office is disagreeing about the marketing strategy with a Japanese President of Company.

The player adapts their action to the manner that could be appropriate for the Role 2 culture.

The number of combinations is impressive. And you can also use an extension cube to have even more possible variations.
