Family Pastimes New America - A Co-operative Game

Description

Given our economic and social problems in North America, this game is prophetic. Players act as research and development teams trying to redesign North America's socio-economic system before it's too late. The focus is on energy and resources, but all fields are explored. Whatever the interest, this game tries to address it. Very suitable for thinking friends as well as high school and college classes. Designed to provoke discussion among mature, thinking people!Our customers say: "A rigorous mental workout on very timely issues." - Wellington, New ZealandPlay as friends, not as enemies! Family Pastimes games foster the spirit of cooperation. Players help each other climb a mountain, make a community, complete a space exploration... They never play against each other. After all, the initial impulse to play a game is social; that is, we bring out a game because we want to do something together. How ironic then that in most games, we spend all our efforts trying to bankrupt someone, destroy their armies - in other words, to get rid of one another!At Family Pastimes we believe that people of different ages and abilities should be able to play side by side, each making their best contribution. We are all there together when we finish the game to take joy in our successes and wonder how we might work together even better the next time we play. Thus, Family Pastimes games will prove to be a friendly form of fun. Socialization, entertainment, academic learning, character growth, etc. - whatever your objectives, we invite you to realize them by cooperative means. We hope you enjoy playing and learning together!
