A Force More Powerful:
The Game
" Can a computer game teach how to fight real-world
adversaries—dictators, military occupiers and corrupt rulers,
using methods that have succeeded in actual conflicts—not with
laser rays or AK47s, but with non-military strategies and nonviolent
weapons? Such a game, A Force More Powerful (AFMP), is now available.
A unique collaboration of experts on nonviolent conflict working
with veteran game designers has developed a simulation game
that teaches the strategy of nonviolent conflict. A dozen scenarios,
inspired by recent history, include conflicts against dictators,
occupiers, colonizers and corrupt regimes, as well as struggles
to secure the political and human rights of ethnic and racial
minorities and women."
