A Game of NonViolent Strategy
More info here.
A Force More Powerful is the first and only game to teach the waging of conflict using nonviolent methods. Destined for use by activists and leaders of nonviolent resistance and opposition movements, the game will also educate the media and general public on the potential of nonviolent action and serve as a simulation tool for academic studies of nonviolent resistance.
PRI's TheWorld did an audio segment on the game on March 13, 2006.

Hi Stephen
Wow! Thanks for the link! I hadn't heard about this game before! It falls into that new 'serious game' genre.
This looks like a great model to illustrate how games can be used to promote positive social change.
By the way, we're currently seriously exploring the possibility of developing an MMO Game for after-school/community-based youth programs.
BTW - Keep on posting - they're always on topic!
Great to hear from you again!
Steve
