In Kenya and India, technology is becoming more and more prevalent in the education systems. Donors are providing schools with Android tablets that feature textbooks, educational videos, and tutorials. An aspect missing from these tablets is games. Our goal was to help fix this and create educational games for these students. In DemocraCITY is a tablet-based strategy game that puts the player on the frontlines of running a successful democratic society. In DemocraCITY, the player is challenged to please a diverse group of voters with limited resources. The player does his best to distribute these resources evenly and to recognize all members of the community in order to win a re-election.  DemocraCITY will inspire students to use democratic tactics in everyday scenarios.

A round of DemocraCITY consists of three main parts: placing promises, choosing and placing resources, and holding a vote.  Click on the PDF above to play through a round of DemocraCITY (many of the choices are predetermined due to restrictions of Balsamiq).
