At the Meaningful Play conference last week I had the pleasure of seeing the game Don’t Kill the Cow.
Don’t Kill the Cow is a serious game developed by students at the University of Miami in Ohio. It is really simple, but raises some interesting moral questions since the game goal and good moral behavior conflict.
It is a thinker. (I declined to play because it was a little upsetting.)
Much more warm and fuzzy (literally), but also a thinker is this Big Huggin’ game.
