    Description

    Odkrywcy kultur is a game of cultural discovery that takes you around the world in just 40 minutes!

    We all love to travel, explore exotic civilizations, and gain a greater understanding of the cultural heritage of others. But discovery isn’t always easy, and there’s always that chance that missteps might offend rather than open doors.

    Did your host in Japan reach for her samurai sword when you plunged your chopsticks into the rice bowl? Did the guys in an English pub take a swing at you after you gestured to the bartender asking for two beers?

    Odkrywcy kultur takes players to new and exciting places around the world while showing them how to behave to avoid confusion, conflicting signals, and even real danger. During the game, participants visit all continents and discover hundreds of unwritten rules of social behavior: how to gesture acceptance in India, what to avoid in Egypt during Ramadan, and how to successfully conduct business negotiations in Brazil.

    Odkrywcy kultur is a unique mix of a modern board game and a handbook on cross-cultural communications. As players race to pick up souvenirs across the globe, they must think tactically to plan their trip, quiz others on potential cultural faux pas, and quickly react to opponents’ moves. As with any game, a bit of luck always helps.

    When players correctly answer an opponent’s question they win chips with souvenirs and can then travel to another country, opening a treasure chest of knowledge about the new region. The game’s questions were designed and arranged to offer interesting and practical information about our “global village” during play.

    The rules of Odkrywcy kultur were designed by Karol Madaj, designer of 303 as well as Kolejka (Queue) and Lukasz M. Pogoda. The questions and answers in Odkrywcy kultur were drawn from the decades of travel experience and cultural exploration of Halina Grzymala-Moszczynska, PhD, professor of Jagiellonian University in Cracow, and Witold Sekudewicz, the game’s author and managing director of The Link School of Foreign Languages and Intercultural Communications. Mr. Sekudewicz and Ms. Grzymala-Moszczynska worked closely with a panel of widely traveled experts from universities on five continents in creating the game.

    Odkrywcy kultur is a must for anyone with an interest in our multicultural world and a love of sharing fun and excitement with friends and family. It’s a great pastime for both seasoned explorers and those who only dream about faraway places. Also, it is a storehouse of practical knowledge for any business traveler: Don’t risk a blunder and failed deals because you misread the signals when you’re away from home.

    Before you buy your plane, train, or boat tickets, learn how to sidestep unpleasant situations and awkward apologies and avoid offending your hosts. Yes, even a journey of 10,000 miles begins with a single step. Odkrywcy kultur is the step you’ll want to take first.
