Playtesting a university simulation game in a graduate seminar

I’d like to start 2022 on a high note. After frantically grading impressive student final projects, I thought I could share some of their work from earlier in the fall semester. Specifically, I’ll describe a teaching game I’ve been developing and that my future of higher education seminar played. It was a terrific experience.

First I’ll quickly explain the game. Second, I’ll sketch out how play unfolded. Lastly I’ll point to some reflections and potential next directions.
