Political Games
There is learning about balanced budgets. There is paying taxes. There is collecting benefits. Then there is setting your nation’s budget priorities and taxing its citizens in a well thought out online simulation. Let’s call it Budget Hero.
The game - the product of a partnership between Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Serious Games - allows you to learn about the budget implication of government and the services it provides. From foreign policy to health care, the game puts you in the Oval Office as you cut budgets, wage war, and avert coming economic crises.
