Short Game Online Workshop: Jumonville Incident

Join us on November 4th & 5th at 7pm EDT for an online Short Game Workshop featuring The Jumonville Incident: Washington at Fort Necessity. The workshop includes a playthrough of the Short Game, as well as set-up, debrief, and a Q&A session to help you understand how best to run the Short Game in your own classroom. 

The Game
It is the early 1750s in North America. Constant struggles between the British and French empires draw in colonists, indigenous populations, and other European powers. Now, a new flashpoint has developed for this rivalry: the Ohio Country. Control of the sources of the Ohio River offer both sides significant strategic advantages; the area has been a buffer zone between the two empires. A tenuous peace had existed because of complex webs of alliances, but now, encroachments have caused rampant intrigue and mistrust among the colonists and natives on all sides. The French and Indian War is about to begin.

In this Short Game, players will take on the roles of figures from all factions in this contested event. The game focuses on debates around differing interpretations of the incident, along with such questions as: who shot first, what were the intentions of the French, and how responsible were Washington's actions as a commander?
