In Munich we played at the Digital Ministry and the scenario we created drew closely from the themes of the invited:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had Tim Christiansen of the Digital Ministry at the table, motivated to learn how the elements and mechanics of Le Grand Jeu maps onto mechanics and elements of Token Economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had also invited\u00a0Techgenossen<\/a>, a consultancy cooperative for software with a purpose (\u201cSoftware mit Sinn\u201d). Not only have they been active\u00a0supporters of Fridays for Future<\/a>, but also of an initiative called \u201cMunich must act<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some research revealed what inspired our Munich scenario: there was a\u00a0Munich Referendum \u201dClean Air\u201d<\/a>\u00a0in 2017 for phasing out of a coal-powered plant. However, the Federal Grid Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) just recently\u00a0forbid the shutting down of the coal-powered plant<\/a>\u00a0because it is \u201csystem relevant.\u201d Germany is the biggest polluter in Europe<\/a>\u00a0due to its holding on to coal \u2014 Germany\u2019s coal problem, is a social problem, at this stage not even only at a local, national, or European level \u2014 but\u00a0a global one<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, we set up a coal power plant in the middle of the board and a \u201cwheel of sun\u201d to emphasize the volatility of this renewable resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
