Begun, The Pasta Wars have

Noam Ebner- Just about anybody who has ever studied or trained with me has had the experience of engaging in The Pasta Wars, a Prisoner’s Dilemma simulation-game I developed with Yifat Winkler. Thank you all for helping us perfect it!

For all those of you who are now teachers or trainers yourselves – I’ve uploaded the game, complete with a teacher’s guide to managing and debriefing the game. You can download it here.

As my grandfather would say, “Use it in good health”.

Any good PastaWars stories? Share them with me!
