Want to relive the
fun and
fury of the
WTO mayhem? Want to take the role of the
Law Enforcement Officials or the
People In The Streets? Well now you can.
The Battle For Seattle is a
war game brought to us by
DTP games designer Citizen X. You can grab the 96
unit counters, 11x17" area
map of
downtown Seattle, and the 3-4 pages of
rules and
charts right off his site for
free. Simply
print out and
play.

The
rules play heavily on
media exposure and the
effects it has on both sides of this
event. This is not your normal
attack versus
defend style
game, though there are still
elements of that. Instead this
game covers the problems
crowd control,
media spin,
mob cohesion and
resource timing.
This is a great
microgame that will offer you up both an
educational and
entertaining look deeper into what goes on during
civil unrest.
