SHASN- The Political Strategy Board Game

The people who play SHASN – The Political Strategy Board Game in over 70 countries certainly think so. The folks handing out the world’s most prestigious awards seem to agree as well.
Created by Zain Memon and the team at Memesys Studios, SHASN puts players in the shoes of politicians competing in a thrilling election. As they make policy decisions, influence voters, and scheme their way to power, players gain invaluable insights into why their politicians say the things they say and do the things they do.
SHASN is the latest cultural artifact in a new emerging language – games.

Aayush Asthana game designer and writing lead on SHASN, talks about the journey of SHASN, the pedagogy of play, and the power of interactive narratives.
