After many hours of tinkering and some preparation, we were ready (again) to to test the prototype of our game UTOPIA on the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of January. The game developer team, members of the Demokrative, interested people and practitioners from other projects and associations as well as familiar faces from the DEMOGAMES project were present.
The whole weekend was spent in Zurich playing, discussing and developing. We were very happy to experience how much fun it is to play UTOPIA and how much learning experiences the game has to offer.
Now, after a weekend of sunny lunches, huge stacks of cards and intensive discussions, we are fully motivated for the further development phase!
Some members of Demokrative were able to spend the days from 29.11. to 04.12. in Andalusia and put the games of our DEMOGAMES project to an important test run. A nice week at 20 degrees and sunshine by the sea!
