This game stemmed from my interest in studying imperialism. US imperialism has devastated many countries globally throughout history, and many people here have imperialist attitudes or beliefs. In order to call out imperialism, we need to understand how the system works. This is my attempt to create a model of global imperialism to first entertain, but to also educate people on how imperialism operates, how its contradictions manifest, and why it's so destructive. This endeavor will be by no means academic, since games are inherently fictional, but my intention is to design an interactive model that is relevant to the education of imperialism, and perhaps, even to the discussion.
First draft
In this prototype, I was thinking very broadly about what are the possible goals and how the board look like. For me, these are the two important aspects I look for when I'm shopping for a board game.
