「我講」遊戲是個兼具娛樂、教育、訓練、體驗、與交誼的簡易活動。運用難得聚集的時候，把公開講話的時間分攤給參與的人。儘量多。

這樣就會有較多的人示範或演練公開講話的技巧。發言的人就可能練習長話短說，而讓更多的人，更進一步的認識。

已經相識的人也會有機會見識到不同的面向。由於這是新設計的遊戲，會有一份較詳盡的說明書分發，或事先寄出。讓大家有個譜。

The Goa-Talk game is a simple activity with multiple functions, e.g., entertaining, educational, training, hands-on experiencing, networking, etc. It utilizes the unusual gathering time to distribute the opportunity of one-to-many talking to as many participants as possible.

This way, we increase the number of people who demonstrate or exercise the skills of public speaking. The speakers could polish the skills of making long stories short at the same time exposing themselves to a larger number of people for a more in-depth acquaintance.

Those existing friends would have chances to know the speakers with newfound dimensions. Since this is a game with a new design, there will be a handout distributable at the gathering and perhaps through mailing beforehand, to help people understand and perhaps prepare in advance.
