“…However, this potential can be focused on one or more objectives, ranging from learning specific information or task execution to understanding the general picture and managing complexity. For instance, an exploration experience with simple game mechanics, based on visualization, can educate on complex scientific facts and phenomena (e.g., Jang et al, 2022). Another possibility is to focus on the characters' roles and stories, to facilitate perspective change and raise empathy (e.g., Nilsen et al, 2011).…”

Academic institutions are increasingly required to prepare future practitioners to face complex sustainability challenges. The need to foster the development of different skills, attitudes, and multidisciplinary collaboration raised the interest in alternative learning approaches. Game-based learning can be a tool to achieve a variety of desirable learning outcomes, including sustainability and collaborative attitudes change. We present a pilot study investigating the potential of a board game on sustainability risks and opportunities in product development and life cycle, performing a test with different student audiences. The paper discusses our results of the experiment, including a survey following the game, qualitative analysis of students' feedback, and observations during the game sessions. Additionally, we relate insights from students' reflections to CDIO learning objectives. We then illustrate lessons learned and the potential advantages of using the game compared to other teaching approaches and as a complementary tool. Finally, we propose future directions and recommendations for the use of the board game and game-based learning in sustainability education with different student audiences.
