| Zusammenfassung |
| For teaching about collaboration and conflicts with regard to shared water
resources, various types of games offer valuable opportunities. Single-player
computer games often give much power to the player and ignore the fact that
the best for some group might be difficult to achieve in reality if the
individuals have their own interests. Here we present a new game called
Irrigania, which aims at representing water conflicts among several actors
in a simplified way. While simple in its rules, this game illustrates
several game-theoretical situations typical for water-related conflicts. The
game has been implemented as a web-based computer game, which allows easy
application in classes. First classroom applications of the game indicated
that, despite the simple rules, interesting patterns can evolve when playing
the game in a class. These patterns can be used to discuss game theoretical
considerations related to water resource sharing. |
