Awareness stage

Sense Making

During the sense making stage, players discuss what resource they could use to get a better understanding of the situation. To do so, they create “action cards”, which then need to be selected by the players in order to be considered used. It is not mandatory to select cards at this stage.

Anticipation

During the anticipation stage, players discuss what measures they could use to reduce the risk associated with an event. To do so, they create action cards, which then must be selected by a player in order to be considered used. At least one action card must be selected in order to move to the next stage.
