A serious game called Polis PowerPlays, which is being developed by Dorina Pojani and a group of colleagues, was played for the second time at UQ with Planning Theory students.

Thank you Jacob, Soren, Laurel, and Emma! Special thanks to Ralf!
This would be great to play with communal living situations such as co-housing, ecovillages and co-living. Does it have social, economic and ecological inputs/outputs?
If so I imagine it would give real insight into the benefits of communal living for planners.
Additionally, I believe it would be both possible and beneficial to take develop this game into a electronic platform in a similar style to SimCity or other civilization games so that design elements could be added and then have the game play out different scenarios over various time periods – the implications for teaching and research would be huge. Plenty of creative gamers out there….
