A legislative watchdog group on Thursday unveiled a tabletop strategy game, No. 1 Zhongshang S Road: The Scene of A Bill, that simulates the activities of the Legislative Yuan.
The game puts players in the shoes of party whips, who must pass or block bills by mustering votes and leveraging the rules of the legislature, Citizen’s Congress Watch said.
The game originated at Soochow University’s Legislative Research Center to teach students about government, said Hwang Shiow-duan (黃秀端), a Citizen’s Congress Watch member who is also the dean of the university’s School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences.
Tabletop game designers assisted the group
