I STILL attribute my geography grade to my game play of 'Risk' as a kid. Anyway, point well taken, that the concept of Monopoly is a stretch when it comes to commodification, resources, etc. I'd love to hear your take on Habitat Heroes and some of the new eduventures coming onto the scene, like the Why Reef in Whyville, etc.---I'm trying to get some teens/tweens in there testing it out for a youth POV, but am short-handed. Off to run our screening of Consuming Kids tonight! (which, btw, they're offering to others to screen now too!) More on that soon. Hope to be back at ECP next month more. sigh.
