Projects

Tracing House is a Laboratory Funded Research and Development (LDRD) project to study communication, conflict and deterrence in cyberspace. Tantalus is an experimental wargame designed within the Tracing House project. You can join the study, and play Tantalus, here: https://www.tantalusvideogame.com/

GRAND is a NATO-ACT funded effort to develop wargames to help practice consensus building in times of crisis.

Previous Projects

Project on Nuclear Gaming

The Project on Nuclear Gaming (2017-2019) was a Carnegie Corporation of New York funded effort, led by the University of California-Berkeley in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories, to study the strategic impact of tailored effect nuclear weapons on conflict escalation. More information on PoNG.

SIGNAL is the first experimental wargame developed by our team and was developed as part of the PoNG project. You can play SIGNAL.
