In our modern remote (but sadly socially distanced or isolated) environment, ongoing collaboration is vital to ensure information & knowledge is exchanged and regularly refreshed. Cards can be used digitally in a variety of different platforms to engage stakeholders and gather feedback on their understanding and experience:
Whichever platform is deployed, using the same familiar card images digitally & physically provides a common visual language to aid communication between the ‘Board Room’ and the ‘Control Room’.
QR Codes
Cards can be produced with individual QR Codes on the front and/or a common code on the back of the cards and/or the front & back of the boxes to direct the player to information, guidance or media related to the event or topic on the card:
Online Tables
A online/desktop multi-player version is now available where Players dial into a shared online room to play cards which are dealt as normal.
Players only see their own cards and use this common ‘table’ to play games & discuss topics. There is no limit on the number of concurrent players but 8 is typically the maximum practical group size.
For example, online interactive discussions on Monitoring & Managing key Process Safety principles or indicators:
Or validating (via a simple review) of HAZOP or PHA studies by placing cards onto the ‘table’ when the LoC event has been discussed:
At the end of the review, whichever cards are left are either:
- To be discussed
- Not applicable
- Discussed but participant wasn’t paying attention
This is a public platform (customised to suit) which is accessed via a unique URL and managed by the Client.
Where corporate IT systems prevent access to sites considered to be gambling or gaming, an online whiteboard platform e.g. MURAL can be used to provide similar functionality:
Note – the above platform is unlocked, please do not delete cards !

Online tables are explained in the following video:
Tables can be configured for training, communication or feedback:
Players can also use a simple random number generator to draw a card from the deck.
