Strategic Games: Discover Your Victory Approach! (offered only as a weekend course)

Can we use strategic games in our everyday life? Actually, we can change our way of thinking and gain the benefits of gaming knowledge. Strategic thinking can help students better understand their choices, evaluate them, think about the implications of each choice, and ultimately choose the best one.

This class travels us to distant cultures, we become familiar with the games and their philosophy, we observe their similarities and differences and we learn to apply gaming knowledge in other walks of life. From classic chess students will move to Fortress, Circular and SER chessboard, to the Chinese Go (Go) and then to the game of the Japanese generals, Shogi. Through these games, students develop analytical and critical thinking, solve problems, learn to recognize other students’ strategies and to plan their own. By the end of the class students will have acquired ways to combine this knowledge and make use of it in their everyday life.
