SIMSOC: Simulated Society (Fifth Edition)

SIMSOC is a dynamic group simulation game that forces participants to cope with the daily problems of governing society. Assuming a variety of roles, the players grapple with issues like abuse of power, justice, diversity, trust, and leadership as they negotiate their way through labor-management strife, political turmoil, and natural disasters. There is no programmed outcome. Success or failure is dependent upon decisions made by players and the creativity of the group. Included in this edition of SIMSOC's Participants Manual are instructions for playing, materials for play, study questions based on participation, and selected readings about simulation games, leadership, and social processes.
