Power Pairs

Concentration, but the pairs are an office and the thing it actually controls.

Skill this builds: Match a public office to the specific lever it controls, so you can locate the person who can move a decision.

Classic memory match. Flip two cards — an office and a power. If they belong together, they stay open and you get the explanation. Shake your phone to re-deal.

Your Beacon

Change

Identical doors. What was behind the third on the left? Walking is free; only the second door of a look spends a session.

0 of 8 pairs · 12 of 12 sessions left

A term has 12 sessions and every two-card look spends one. Whatever you never get to is decided without you.

Shake the phone to re-deal. The Re-deal button does the same thing.

The point

Almost none of these offices are the ones on the news. All of them decide something that lands on your street. Knowing which lever sits on which desk is most of what people mean when they say someone 'knows how to get things done.'
