In Meeting of the Minds there is lots of excitement as players try to develop win-win solutions and learn conflict resolution skills.
In the game players earn points in two ways. First, they answer questions on effective ways of resolving conflicts that are built into the game. Second, they resolve conflicts with other players that occur during the game. As a result, the players participate in two learning processes simultaneously - (1) learning the knowledge and skills for successful conflict resolution, and (2) applying the knowledge and skills during the play of the game.
Players are therefore cooperating in finding solutions and competing to win the game at the same time. This dynamic relationship leads to a very exciting game.
