The game has players moving their playing piece around a board and landing on question marks, positive signs, or negative signs, depending on the throw of dice.\u00a0 When the player lands on a spot, another player draws a card, matching the sign on the spot, and the message on the card is read. The message has either a question, a positive action or a negative action related to protecting and conserving water.\u00a0 The player moves their playing piece according to the instructions on the card.\u00a0 The game can be played with one group of players or with two teams competing against each other.\u00a0 Note:\u00a0 Sample questions can be found at the bottom of this page.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One great feature of the game board is that it can be used for a\u00a0variety of environmental themes<\/u>\u00a0because the centre section (where the cards lay) contains the name of the game (Water Game) and it can be exchanged for a piece with a different name and different cards.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
