Community Talk November 2025: A Role-Playing Game on Disaster Relief Interventions

During this Community Talk, we discover a role-playing card game that turns real disaster relief challenges into an immersive experience. Drawing on data from Cyclone Idai, players navigate seven rounds of negotiation, facing the same dilemmas and inequalities that shape real-world disaster governance.

Join us to discover how this game was designed, tested, and used to both share research and uncover new ways of understanding collaboration in crisis.
