I first saw the Grants Game at the annual SRA conference in Philly last
fall.  It was developed by Pam Miller at Southern Illinois Univrsity --
Carbondale.  It consists of a game board in the shape of a dollar sign and
17 overheads that present concepts such as doing your homework in terms of
submission eligibility, calling the program officer, asking for critiques,
etc.  Players flip a coin and statements are read from the overheads.  If
the player flips heads, s/he's done the "right" thing, such as checked on
submission eligibility, and s/he moves forward a number of spaces.  If they
didn't bother to check they move back or stay where they are.

I just presented the Grants Game at a brown bag lunch faculty session
yesterday and the participants said they really enjoyed it.  The game is
copyrighted, so you need to purchase it from Pam Miller at xxxxxx@siu.edu.
It costs $10 (ten).  It's well worth it.
