Lessons LearnedPublic officials are very reluctant to give up power

Fun is important aspect of (serious) games, even-though project-partners disagree on this

The players/stakeholders are willing to accept fun and randomness such as throwing dices

The game combined with visualisations of models seems an effective method to deal with multi-stakeholder problems
