Using the Game
Eyeball to Eyeball can be played either face-to-face or fully remotely (online). Both versions use Experiential Simulation platform.
Read more about different modalities for this game...
E2E is designed to be played either face to face (F2F) or fully remote (online).
Both versions have a unique supplement not found in any other Reacting game: A custom-coded electronic website on Mustard Square’s Experiential Simulation platform that allows for limited chat capabilities between factions, consistent with the historical norm. Among other things, this platform quickly reinforces to students that there are no direct communications between the US and Cuba, and that communications between the US and USSR are done through Ambassadors (because the famous “hotline” doesn’t exist yet.) The platform also allows for the automation of faction leader decisions in the game and the subsequent injects, which reduces the cognitive load on the instructor running the game.
For instructors who wish to play the game fully remote, the Game also provides a custom-configured Discord server that provides faction channels for voice conversations and limited cross-faction meetings (primarily between government officials and ambassadors/media). The game also includes a rule-set for fully asynchronous play using the discussion forum function on your institution’s LMS. The files are provided in both PDF Portfolio and Pure PDF formats. The PDF Portfolio provides a natural separation of files, but may require Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to work properly (it will not work in a browser reader). If the PDF portfolio will not function for you, we recommend using the “pure PDF” version.
