During this year’s Global Game Jam, Team ‘The Elders’ made The Conflict Room, a multiscreen local multiplayer strategy game. The project was made during the Global Game Jam in 48 hours at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences.
The Conflict Room is now available for free and can be played on the website.
About The Conflict Room
The Conflict Room is a local multiplayer strategy game in which players rule a country. Before the game starts each player receives a secret mission which needs to be completed in order to win.
In turns players need to allocate personnel to boost their military, agriculture or scientific capabilities. Each turn one country triggers an event on which the other players need to react. Two options are offered and the remaining 3 players need to vote how the event will be played out. Events can have an effect on a countries’ capabilities and are used to accomplish one’s secret mission.
The Conflict Room is played using one main screen (which all players can see) that displays each countries’ stats and events, plus four interface devices (this can be either a tablet or laptop). The easiest way to play is to hook up a host computer to a TV and to let the four players connect to that game.
