What is riskgaming?
Riskgaming is a series of individual strategic scenarios that immerse players in complex decision-making and model real-world challenges and tradeoffs.
Character-Driven Strategy
Players take on the role of richly-detailed characters who can strategically build or break trust with each other throughout the game.
Emergent Behavior
Players make strategic decisions influenced by personal and external incentives, allowing for spontaneity and surprise.
Autonomous Decision-Making
All players select their actions independently of each other during a scenario, reflecting the autonomy of real-world decision-makers.
Profound Experiences
Each scenario faithfully models the real world, allowing players to experience an alternative reality that informs our own.
