Wargaming Lab

At our first info session of the semester, we presented our game design approach to a group of enthusiastic undergraduates, followed by an introduction to one of CNA Corporation's educational microgames. Our presentation highlighted the significance of employing rigid and stochastic adjudication methods, the design of games for human and adversarial engagement, and the iterative execution of our original games to enhance understanding and yield valuable insights about real world problems. In the coming month, the Lab will host a final university-wide info session. Make sure to tune into the GRI weekly digest in March to reserve your spot.

At the Wargaming Lab, we partner with sponsors to design original games, providing analytical support that advances strategic decision-making. We also offer numerous ways for individuals and organizations to get involved. Whether you're interested in becoming an external advisor, having us playtest your games, or sponsoring a wargame, there are various opportunities to engage with the Lab.

At the Wargaming Lab, we are dedicated to shaping the next generation of wargamers through a hands-on approach to game design and development. While we take this education seriously, we also believe in making the learning process engaging and fun. Today, the Lab came together to play Littoral Commander. The experience was enjoyable and insightful, sparking great conversation on the lessons learned. We'd love to hear your game recommendations for our next monthly gathering!
