Modern Games have some very unique game mechanics. These game mechanics can be used to achieve learning transformations that are not obvious or direct - teaching how to manage frustration or conflict, how to continue to work efficiently when managing resource scarcity, juggling many issues in parallel, and experiencing events from a different perspective. What are some examples of these mechanics and how do we structure them within the game framework? Actual games will be used (and played) to provide concrete examples.
