Microgame Online Workshop: The Schilling Revolt

Mark the 500th anniversary of the German Peasant's War by joining us on November 15th  for an online Microgame workshop featuring The Schilling Revolt: Popular Unrest and Religious Change in Augsburg, 1524. The workshop includes a full play-through of the Microgame, as well as set-up, debrief, and a Q&A session to help you understand how best to run the microgame in your own classroom. 

The Game
Angry citizens have besieged members of Augsburg’s city council to demand the return of Johann Schilling, a radical preacher exiled by the council for sedition. The protesters have produced a set of demands that include religious matters along with social and economic issues such as merchant monopolies and excise taxes on beer. Members of the council must find a way to either placate or intimidate the mob or they will not be able to safely leave the council house. This urban uprising from 1524 closely parallels the issues in the larger Peasant’s Revolt of 1524-25. This microgame is written as a a precursor Emily Gray's longer game on the Reformation in Augsburg.
