OBJECT OF THE GAME: To collect all 7 NYLS GAMIFY cards. PLAYING THE GAME: Each participating professor has a card for students to collect; but it takes more than just visiting a professor’s office to get the card. Each professor has created one task that a student must complete and present to that professor during their office hours. If the student completes the task to the professor’s satisfaction, the professor will present the student with a card. WINNING THE GAME: The first student to collect all 7 cards wins!
