'''''PeaceMaker''''' is a [[turn-based strategy]] game developed by ImpactGames, which simulates the [[Israeli-Palestinian conflict]]. ''Peacemaker'' players choose to be either the leader of [[Israel]] or [[the Palestinian Authority]], along with accepting the social, political, and military responsibilities this entails. Through the use of accurate and sensitive contextual information, and news articles and videos, ''PeaceMaker'' offers a realistic, and empathetic, vehicle into one of the most pressing situations in the world. In November 2007, on the day of the international peace summit in [[Annapolis]], the [[Peres Center for Peace]] distributed 100,000 copies of the game in Israel and the West Bank. |
