NextSteps is a board game that prompts self reflection to build a step by step plan that allows one to explore what might come next in their personal or professional life. It is based on several frameworks from disciplines like psychology, professional coaching and career counselling. It is for those who feel a bit lost in life, whether this is due to circumstances or lack of motivation and can’t figure out how to move forward.
It is played in two rounds: 1. 'How much is enough?': Players identify a protagonist and use prompt cards to clarify their needs, wants, and key milestones. 2. 'Build your own life': Players propose creative plans to reach the protagonist's milestones, pitching their ideas to help the protagonist move forward. By bringing friends and family into the planning process, NextSteps transforms life transitions into an enjoyable, social activity, ensuring that those feeling stuck can benefit from the outside perspective and support of their peers.
