What it is for
Independent multi-actor prototype for exploring decisions, negotiations and climate consequences in the Sahel through the Great Green Wall framework.
My contribution
Lead Serious Game Designer & Developer. Five asymmetric actors — GOV, FAO, GMV, AGR and PAS — operate across 24 bimonthly seasons, equivalent to four years, on a nine-cell territorial grid.
How it works
The system integrates 24 Progress cards, 36 Forecast–Outcome pairs, 75 Intervention cards, 25 Projects and 25 Secret Missions: 185 logical cards and 370 printed faces. Lua Guided Turn Manager v0.4 manages the flow.
