One more thing…  We have provided the game board, rules, and spinner. Please note that we plan on editing the rules based on some of your thoughtful feedback. Thanks! Also because of your feedback, we were reluctant to share our scenario cards - so many of the dilemmas seem to be Florida-based. We would love to hear from you regarding how you plan to implement the game in your program. What dilemmas have your graduates voiced? When you contact us to share your perspectives, if you still want our Florida scenario cards, let us know.  
