Truth as a Variable: Teaching Political Strategy with Simulation Games.

Brooker, Russell G.

Simulation and Games, v19 n1 p43-58 Mar 1988

Discussion of the use of simulation games to teach political strategy focuses on the relationship between honesty and expediency (winning). Three models of competition are developed, each involving a different relationship between truth and success, and the outcomes of a course on social situations and gaming are discussed.
