(3) An Active Citizenship Game: September 12th: A Toy World portrays a fictional city somewhere in the Middle East, which is populated by a large number of wandering civilians and a few so-‐called terrorists, easily distinguished by their clothing. The player can fire missiles into the city to try and eliminate terrorists, but every time you do, more and more civilians are converted to terrorists. It is a simple, active game with a moral: violence begets more violence. Other highly engaging, active games that I recommend include: Phone Story, Dys4ia, and The Arcade Wire: Airport Security.
