Big Chief!

Here's D and Eddie playing the s4s game 'Big Chief'. The egg boxes contain various counters such as seeds and sweets. The central box represents parameters in the environment and we each have our own box representing our village. We then work through the game rules to see how our choices, such as how much land and fertiliser to use for crops, cascade around the environment.

We had a bit of fun but since we were also working out the order of the rules and other such game mechanics it was quite tiring. We managed just three years in about an hour and a half!

Next we'll be asking students at Leicester to develop their own games, based on the videos and other learning materials. Then these games will hopefully be used in local schools.
