Games + Learning + Society Conference Proceedings

Spiritfarer is a cozy resource and relationship management game focused on caring for passengers and helping them to address their unfinished business before ultimately guiding them to the afterlife. The game features repeated learning opportunities for practicing the grieving process in a safer game-based environment as well as requiring players to learn the unique needs of each other character that make them human. This Well Played session will demonstrate critical game design elements that align with the embedded opportunities for learning.
