Ultimate Assent - Best game for teaching and team development?

[sanddrag]

As a teacher, I am qualified to give my opinion on whether or not this is the best game for teaching. If the goal to teach students that real engineering challenges are really hard, this game achieves that very well. If the goal is to spend a lot of time with the students, taking them through every detail from which way to turn a screwdriver to CAD constraints and proper wiring techniques, this game most certainly isn't it. The simpler games are favorable here. This task is overwhelmingly difficult to the point where in order to finish a great product in 6 weeks, there is no time for learning, only for doing. In a game like this, the learning needs to happen before and after (which we have done, and will do), not during the build.
