Ebola in the DRC

Ebola in the DRC is an educational game about the securitization of health crises using the example of the 2019 Ebola outbreak in the DRC.

The game was designed for a short online webinar, but can be played as a regular in-person board game. Facilitator Instructions, Participant Instructions, and Digital Gameboard and Counters. Map and Counters for physical play.

I was commissioned to write this wargame for the Health Security Module at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom.

Reviews

Three days of gaming emergency management with future officers using Ebola in the DRC by @EM_DAlessandro, Kazhdyy Gorod from Tom Mouat, and Earthquake! signed by Tim Price. Games sometimes led to heated exchanges, but that's what you get dealing with simulated emergencies. pic.twitter.com/Y5iaJxnyrL
