A state-of-the-art review about the SEMAT Essence standard includes some games and workshops in order to simulate and remember a small set of the elements of such a standard. Alphas and states are the most common elements. For this reason, in this paper we propose a board game to simulate most of the elements belonging to the SEMAT Essence standard. We also apply this game to university students and we summarize the results. Even though the game is a little complex, the players are satisfied with the results, since the game provides a good idea about the usage of the different elements of the SEMAT Essence standard.
