An educational game enhancing political awareness and youth engagement. This game represents the country on a macro scale, reflecting how its economy works and highlighting the conflict between an individual’s self-interest and the overall wellbeing of the population.
The game is set up such that each player learns collaborative work play through collectively managing resources with other players. In turn, every decision a player makes affects those shared resources, and consequently, the rest of the players.
The aim of the project is to introduce basic political, governance and constitutional elements to young adults in order to make them more politically engaged. The game is built on top of the constitution, as it teaches players how constitutional articles directly relate to our day-to-day lives.
