Democracy

(7 votes)

dem1 logo_windows_miniapple-logo-minitryitfree The Ultimate Political Strategy Game. Democracy is an intelligent, sophisticated and entertaining game, but also teaches you a thing or two about politics. You may think that politics is all about sticking to your principles no matter what, but the simulation in this game is specifically designed to show you just how easily even the most honest politician will be forced to compromise in order to stay in power and keep the economy strong.dem2

Democracy makes no attempt to talk down to its players. Do you know any other computer games that mix in quotes from Plato, Gandhi and Napoleon in their loading screens? When people play this game they come away with an understanding of the relative GDP's of different nations, the forces in play in a modern political system, and probably a few famous political quotations.. Wouldn't you rather your kids learned something from the games they play?
