SPIR608 Political Simulations and Gaming/2011/Sex Slaves
Stabbing
The principle of the game is to get yourself (because your a prostitute) out of the institution. The game has a maximum of five players but there are six different scenario cards. You can keep the scenario secret or tell other players in order to form an alliance. Each scenario card will explain how to get out of prostitution and eventually win the game. Remember the game is intentionally difficult because unfortunately for the real life victims of this game, many never escape. This game is a simulation of the world of prostitution, pacifically south Asia; therefore the scenarios have been adapted from Louise Brown's (2000) research.
