EUcraft

EUcraft is an immersive digital simulation game that places you at the heart of the European Union's decision-making process. As you step into the role of a national minister, you're tasked with negotiating vital EU policies that have a real-world impact. The primary aim of this app is to enable users to experience the complexity and intricacy of EU negotiations first-hand.

In the app, you'll navigate actual issues such as implementing a universal charger for devices, eliminating single-use plastics, and bolstering the shift toward electric vehicles and eco-friendly construction. It's an engaging way to understand the inner workings of the EU Council and the importance of reaching consensus among diverse member states.

Starting is simple: select an avatar, pick your country, and choose the topic you wish to delve into. Your journey will challenge you to advocate for your country’s interests while striving to reach an agreement with other countries. Success depends on skilled negotiation and strategic interaction with other member states. With the concept of action points, players are propelled to act wisely, as these points dictate their negotiation influence and can only be replenished through quizzes and mini-games.

The scoring system awards points and badges based on negotiation performance, factoring in adherence to your country's initial stance, your compromise level, and your ability to forge alliances. This keeps the experience challenging and rewarding.

While educational and steeped in real EU negotiation processes, the game simplifies and gamifies these proceedings, adding enjoyable elements and a touch of abstraction to make the learning process more accessible and interactive. For those eager to get a closer look at EU politics and enjoy strategizing, EUcraft could prove to be both enlightening and entertaining.
