Mobility is a Serious Game (2017)

History and goal In the spring of 2016, 6 committed citizens met to do "something" on the subject of Mobility: Professor Cathy Macharis of the VUI, Karin De Schepper of Insland Navigation & CleanAirBXL, Steven Vanden brande of Durabrik, Guibert Boone of Fockedey, Miguel Vertriest of Duurzame Mobiliteit (sustainable mobility) and Koen De Maesschalck of Colruyt Group. Under the supervision of Sandra Schruijer, professor Organisation science at the University of Utrecht, they concluded that the game could maybe help us relieve our mobility tangle. Inspired by the work of Laurent Bontoux of JRC (European Commission) they made a mobility game intended to connect people, show empathy for each other's role and let new ideas surface. After an elaborate testing round, the game was launched on 21 June 2017 at the Mobility Congress In this game players will take turns playing action cards to build arguments for their goals. Other players can vote on what arguments they like. You get points by having other people vote for your arguments. —user summary
