Bring your laptop and join other students in an evening of virtual war gaming!
Through engaging in diplomacy and conflict within the game, players are introduced to key concepts in modern international diplomacy and conflict such as deterrence, conflict escalation, and signaling. The kind of strategic thinking necessary to be successful in SIGNAL is the same kind of strategic thinking that security practitioners in US government consider when forming military doctrine, engaging in international diplomacy, and building strategic alliances. The game is accessible in such a way that both security experts and those unfamiliar with international politics can learn about these concepts.
