Constitutional Compromise v1.0.2
iCivicsAbout this app
Developer Description
Can you lay the foundation for a new nation... with a lot of disagreements?
In this game, you will hear from delegates as they cast their vision for the future of the United States and weigh the options. Balance the interests of large and small states, navigate the interest of delegates who envision vastly different roles of the new government, or process the difficult decisions addressing the institution of slavery in the states.
Not all compromises are (or were) the ideal outcomes. While based on real debates and historical arguments, this game is not a reenactment. In the end, you can discover how your decisions compare to what happened in Philadelphia.

It is another great game by ICIVICS. Learning about how tough it was to counter disagreements between the Philadelphia Convention, is fun and takes some thinking. Just a suggestion, they should make game little more tough. Otherwise; from prespective of knowledge, we don't need to say how good is ICIVICS.

Well drawn as always, but the game is only 15 minutes and no replay ability. Save it for the schools.
