objects on a table standing in for parts

Whatever is within reach, placed to mean something. A mug is the deadline, a pen is your manager, a coin is you. Meaning lives in position: distance, direction, what faces what, what sits behind what. Nothing gets written down, so the setup takes a minute, and anyone can move a piece to show they see it differently without having to phrase the disagreement first.

Example

Best when the relations are felt rather than listed, and you want disagreement shown rather than argued.
