We'll be discussing the game Night of the Living Debt which is designed to promote financial literacy among young adults, especially around credit score.

Before the event, you are encouraged to play Night of the Living Debt and think about what we can learn from it for designing other educational games. But playing the game is optional and the event is open to everyone. Feel free to invite anyone who might be interested in the discussion.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for games we should consider in the future, feel free to email me at EducationalGameClub@gmail.com.

About Educational Game Club
Each month, we pick an educational game, play it, and then meet to discuss it. It’s like a book club but for educational games instead of books.
