Games stimulate collective learning in a friendly, competitive environment. They create opportunities for players to experiment with different strategies to prepare for and respond to drought. The hands-on nature of games can make learning more fun than a typical workshop since participants will view drought management as a collaborative contest rather than a real-world crisis.
