Each player is randomly allocated household permits (based on house and household size) and a disposable income (in chameleon dollars). Starting with a randomly allocated chamsuite (i.e all the 8 different appliances) each, players strive to achieve household consumptions in kilowatts-hour that are within their given permits. There are 10 extra cards, change-of-fortune cards, added to the 32 cards that will enable players to acquire more permits. Players will also be able to use financial derivatives, such as futures contracts and put/call options contracts to either buy or sell more permits over a period of time. Our website provides information that will enable players to use any of these derivatives. The winner will have a chamsuite with a total energy efficiency covered by his/her permits, and more money (from the remaining permits that are converted to cash based on the spot price of carbon at the time the game is stopped). The game requires shrewdness and luck to win and would be suitable for ages 15 years and older. The game is played in 2 stages and the following videos shows in detail how the game is played: Introduction: Stage 1: Stage 2:]]> ZiggySplash® & setShop® http://www.chameleonisland.co.nz/m1_export_tracker.php?products_id=31&language=en&cPath=26&m1track=rss&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=export_feed#rss http://www.chameleonisland.co.nz/m1_export_tracker.php?products_id=31&language=en&cPath=26&m1track=rss&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=export_feed#rss Sat, 29 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +1300 .style1 { width: auto; float: none; } .style2 { font-family:'Times New Roman'; font-size:12pt; } This game package, Ziggy Splash at the setShop, contains two games, Ziggy Splash® and setShop® described below: Ziggy Splash® Ziggy Splash® is an introductory game to the Ziggy Splash at the setShop game package. It introduces home appliances commonly used in a household (i.e. cooker, refrigerator, hot water tank, heater, washing machine, lights, computer and television) and forms the foundation of the other games. The players are exposed to different energy efficiency categories of home appliances, identifiable through a splash of colours and facial characters that fit a scale of energy use dubbed the Cool, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. A pack of 32 cards, 2 game boards and the manual with the game rules (which are provided), are required to play the game. Once the rules have been mastered, players might want to play the game to a set time as suggested in the manual ... a kitchen timer may be needed although it is not provided in the package. Children aged between 6-9 years, will find it exciting playing this game as the colours and graphics make it intuitive to play. The video animation below shows in detail how to play Ziggy Splash®: setShop® The setShop® game reinforces the players' understanding of energy efficiencies of the common household appliances introduced in Ziggy Splash® This is done through forming runs (a selection of 3 or 4 cards with the same appliance but different energy efficiencies) or sets (a selection of 3 or 4 cards of different appliances, but similar energy category). Only the 32 cards, the two game boards (from Ziggy Splash®), the manual with the game rules are required. This game is also suitable for ages 6 years and older. The video animation below shows in detail how to play setShop®:]]> A-topia® & starMaximiser® http://www.chameleonisland.co.nz/m1_export_tracker.php?products_id=32&language=en&cPath=27&m1track=rss&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=export_feed#rss http://www.chameleonisland.co.nz/m1_export_tracker.php?products_id=32&language=en&cPath=27&m1track=rss&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=export_feed#rss Sat, 29 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +1300 .style1 { width: auto; float: none; } .style2 { font-family:'Times New Roman'; font-size:12pt; } This game package, Taking Care of Business, contains two games, A-topia® and starMaximiser® that both use a set of 32 cards and a concept of the chamsuite shown in the video animation below: A-topia® A-topia® exposes the players to an energy rating system of appliances similar to the one used in the European Union. It adds knowledge to the information one may need to look into prior to purchasing home appliances. The battle is set between two players to achieve a household with the least energy consumption. There is a point scoring system in the game based on each player attaining special events. Once a maximum set of points are acquired by a player, it gives him/her an advantage by acquiring their opponent's best (energy efficient) appliances. The game keeps the players sharp in adding their scores and exercising their advantages over their opponent. The game requires the 32 cards and manual with the rules, where the winner manages to acquire at least 5 appliances that have an energy rating of A in their chamsuite (a set of 8 cards which have all the different appliances represented, i.e. cooker, refrigerator, hot water tank, heater, washing machine, lights, computer and television). Since A-topia requires simple strategies to win, it can be enjoyed by anyone from 9 years and older. The video animation below shows in detail how to play A-topia®: starMaximiser®]]> lowCarbs® & smartMoolah® http://www.chameleonisland.co.nz/m1_export_tracker.php?products_id=33&language=en&cPath=28&m1track=rss&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=export_feed#rss http://www.chameleonisland.co.nz/m1_export_tracker.php?products_id=33&language=en&cPath=28&m1track=rss&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=export_feed#rss Mon, 31 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +1300 .style1 { width: auto; float: none; } .style2 { font-family:'Times New Roman'; font-size:12pt; } This game package, Energise My Wallet, contains two games, lowCarbs® and smartMoolah® and an introductory video of both games is shown below: lowCarbs® lowCarbs® is designed to give the players an understanding of how carbon tax would work (based on how much energy a household uses) ... a more energy efficient household will not need to pay. The situation is different if electricity comes solely from hydro or nuclear generation, which is highly unlikely, as in most parts of the world it comes from renewable and non-renewable sources. Players have to juggle between getting the money for the carbon tax and finding a high energy efficient chamsuite (i.e. a set of 8 cards which have all the different appliances represented, i.e. cooker, refrigerator, hot water tank, heater, washing machine, lights, computer and television). The game requires the deck of 32 cards, chameleon dollars, a calculator (not provided and may not be necessary for some players), and a timer (also not provided). The game does require some strategy to win and may be suitable for ages 12 years and older. The video animation below shows in detail how to play lowCarbs® : smartMoolah® smartMoolah® helps the players to understand some of the monetary incentives set up by governing bodies to encourage households to turn to energy efficient technologies. These incentives are commonly referred to as subsidies. The player with the most cash gets to win the game. A player has to acquire and subsequently declare the most energy efficient chamsuite (i.e. all 8 appliances) that will command the highest subsidy. Since each player is randomly allocated a household income at the start of the game, strategy becomes a key factor in securing a win. The chameleon dollars, deck of 32 cards, the manual with the game rules, and a dice are provided in the package. A calculator (not provided) may be needed to sum up the total energy consumption percentages. The game can be played with anyone from the age of 12 years and older.
