Hi all
Thought you might like to see a new game Wellcome Collection launched today. It's called 'High Tea', and it's a strategy game based around the British trade in opium in the Pearl Delta in the 1830s, on the eve of the opium wars.
http://www.wellcomecollection.org/hightea
It was developed for us by Preloaded, and was inspired by our current exhibition 'High Society'.
We'd be interested in any thoughts you have about it as a museum game, particularly in terms of learning outcomes, as it addresses a morally ambiguous (to say the least) episode in British imperial history (and of course if you'd like to follow the link to our evaluation survey at the end of the game, we'd be very grateful too).
Best,
Danny
