World Game
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the Doctor Who novel see World Game (Doctor Who).
World Game, sometimes called the World Peace Game, is an alternative to war games proposed by Buckminster Fuller. The idea was to "make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological damage or disadvantage to anyone."
He first proposed the concept in 1961 as the core curriculum at the (then new) Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Fuller proposed it again in 1964 for the 1967 International and Universal Exposition in Montreal, Quebec.
In 1972, the World Game Institute was founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by Fuller, Medard Gabel and others.
