NanoVenture Game

This game is a product of the University of Wisconsin (mrsec.wisc.edu). For further information on the NanoVenture game, please check here.

"NanoVenture: The Nanotechnology Board Game explores the connections between science, specifically nanotechnology, and society. In this game, players become leaders of a new country. The leaders are challenged to make decisions regarding their country's use of nanomaterials and nanotechnology for industrial expansion, military applications, economic security and basic scientific research, while maintaining a high approval rating from the citizens of the country. These decisions require players to carefully analyze the interplay of technological advances, regulations, public perception and risk, while also learning about the emerging field of nanotechnology." -mrsec.wisc.edu

It is best to play with four to five players.
