Game
Who Got the Power?
The game Who got the power is designed around the intervention of the following 5 main identified actors involved in the case of land use change in the Amazon region of Brazil: the Brazilian farmer, the Brazilian government, the rainforest, the beef export lobby and the international environmental policies. Developed to be used as a discussion tool based on the new scenarios of land use change, the game aims to highlight and present new pathways depending on the collective decisions and actions of the different influences the actors have during the game session on the common resources consisting of the rainforest, agricultural land and livelihood. The concept of the game focuses on the setting of medium-sized family farms engaged in agricultural production, including soy and livestock, in the vicinity of the Amazon rainforest. The main challenge for the players in the game is to figure out the impact of their decisions on the alteration of land use. As power relations are firstly randomly attributed and later redistributed throughout the game when certain thresholds are breached, depending on the resources, the actors will encounter different scenarios based on their influence in the decision making.
