Very nice to use a board game for creating awareness and behavioral change; and I like it that beyond just a game experience it also includes a specific reflective part - as then you’ll learn the most. For scalability and impact, I would suggest you to extend the game into a younger target group by keeping the game element but reducing the complexity. If you always need facilitators for the game, then maybe you could add a sort of train the trainer service to enhance the educational value and scalability.
WINNER FOR SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES

It is impressive to see community-led placemaking that turns wasteland into public recreational space using native materials in response to the needs of local stakeholders.

SDG#12 encourages more responsible consumption which requires sustainable infrastructures to enable new social behaviours to happen. Well 井 is a designed smart water station to form a new social network that enables citizens to fully utilise our city water supply as well as changing our dependence on the usage of one-off plastic bottles.
