Cost of Life: a life-in-Haiti sim October 27, 2006 - by Ian Bogost
After you play, you can discuss the game here. Raph Koster, who lived in Haiti during part of his youth while his mother worked for Unicef, has already weighed in there. Barry Joseph of Global Kids reports that associated lesson plans will be available on the game site in the coming days. Comment from Barry Joseph on October 28, 2006
