Simulated Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simulated Society (or SimSoc- which is pronounced sim-sock) is a "game" used by universities and other groups to teach various aspects of sociology, political science, and communications skills. Originally created by William A. Gamson in 1966, it is currently in its fifth edition.
In addition to its well established academic uses, some have suggested that SimSoc is a precursor to modern roleplaying games such as Dungeons & Dragons and, more particularly, to Live Action Role Play.
