The Story
Nestled in the mountains of the Western United States, surrounded by forests, players work on a special taskforce of 5 other players to create a wildfire mitigation plan for the fictional town of Westmount. Each player is given a role and specific interests and outcomes for the wildfire mitigation plan. These goals, fueled by their personal & professional interests as well as the interests of their constituents, provide them an ideal plan. With itβs mix of burning and thinning, each player works with the other members of their taskforce to decide how much of the forest to mitigate, and how to enact the mitigation.

The multiplayer synchronous simulation takes place over five rounds, which correspond to five months in the scenario. Each round includes an in-class meeting where participants meet face-to-face for ~30 minutes, resulting in specific decisions about the relevant regions on the wildfire mitigation map.
