Yes indeed. Wired is running an article about "A Force More Powerful", a new
strategy game where, if all goes well, there's no bloodshed at all.

The game is the work of Ivan Marovic, one of the founders of Otpor, the Serbian
student-resistance movement that helped removed Slobodan Milosevic from power. So he knows a thing or two about non-violent resistance.

Apparently "More Powerful" is a strategy game that plays something like Age of
Empires with Ghandi. Except that if you play it right, no one dies. "You start
with just a couple of students under your control, so you plan parties and
meetings, working within society to build up the strength of your group,"
explains Douglas Whatley, CEO of BreakAway Games, the company tasked with
creating "More Powerful". "You have to worry about your organization. Do you set
up a hierarchal organization, or a cell-based one? Who is the best figurehead for
the media? What kind of training do people need? And if you march on the capital
without proper controls, things may turn violent, which will harm your cause.
These are the things people can learn."

Of course not all video games are about severed heads and RPG's anyway: Cyan
World's "Myst" series, one of the best selling games of all time, features no
combat at all, to say nothing of sports games and everyone's favorite "go west"
simulator "Oregon Trail". Still, this is the first time anyone's actually tried
to simulate non-violent political uprisings, and make it fun. Might be worth a
play, out of curiousity if nothing else.
