The VOLUMES and BOARDS
Here are the volumes picked for the Default version of the game and some versions of the boards. The trainer decides before the beginning of the game what type of volumes and what boards the players will use. This decision will take into consideration what the lesson is, the familiarity of the level of complexity and other factors as showcased in the Trainer’s advice.

Feedback from the players
These are just a few of the reasons why Light box is a good game to teach architecture.
I wish I could have had a game like this when I was starting architecture to better understand the concepts.

We had used something similar in our trainings so far but nothing at this scale of complexity and versatility.

I like the fact that it applies to interior design also. The boards are like spaces and the pieces can represent furniture and other details.
