"MANY WAYS TO ADAPT THE GAME TO YOUR CLASS"
I have assigned Statecraft since 2013. Statecraft has appealed to our political science majors, but also to gamers and other majors who enjoy competition, interaction with other students, taking responsibility, planning ahead, and being held accountable. It has been especially useful here at the University of Houston Downtown (UHD). There are many ways to adapt the game to your classroom style, or students that you have at your school, and Statecraft Help is very professional.
"BRING IN BLENDED LEARNING TECHNIQUES"
Statecraft is a great way to bring in blended learning techniques into the classroom. From the instructor side, it is easy to use and low maintenance. What I like about Statecraft the most, is that students get the opportunity to see how the theories discussed in class play out in a hands on environment.
"INSTRUCTORS ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS STUDENTS"
Statecraft is an engaging International Relations simulation that allows students to acquire personal experiences, which I have found helps them better relate to and understand complex concepts, such as nuclear deterrence, balancing power, and fostering cooperation though organizations. The number one complaint I hear from other professors about simulations, is the amount of work required on their part. Not Statecraft! This is a self-contained simulation that instructors enjoy as much as their students.

Statecraft is the future of educational engagement
Getting kids engaged in ideas is important. I don’t want kids to be passive receptacles of knowledge that they sit back in a test and two or three weeks later they promptly forget and never use [the information] again. Statecraft helps make learning sticky. I’ll use it again.
Creates Network Connection, Contextualizes Lessons, & Connects Decisions to Outcomes
The best thing about Statecraft is the student engagement. My students stay after class to play. I always have 100% participation, and I always have 100% attendance. Adapting Statecraft has been effective.
A Robust, Effective Online Simulation that Increases Engagement

Statecraft is The Best Tool I’ve Ever Used in a Classroom
The game is going to take its own turn depending on the students. It can go in any direction. By being flexible and able to teach different lessons as the game develops I can get the real benefits and capitalize on teachable moments.
Builds Community, Creates Learning Connections & Aids in Assessments
The top three benefits of Statecraft are: (1) Building student community, (2) Giving students a common and personal experience that also allowed them to apply theories of international relations, and (3) Laughter.
Statecraft “Makes Learning Sticky” & Adds Fun in Online Classes
Getting kids engaged in ideas is important. I don’t want kids to be passive receptacles of knowledge that they sit back in a test and two or three weeks later they promptly forget and never use [the information] again. Statecraft helps make learning sticky. I’ll use it again.
Worth It: Sim Creates Emotional Connections to Course Material
I could see students enjoyed the simulation and they did engage with their peers. Many of them have told me, “Now we understand how hard it is to achieve cooperation in foreign policy and international relations.”
Improves Engagement, Forces Critical Thinking & Creates Connection
The students’ stress, their struggles and their questions are big indicators that they feel the impact of the simulation and are learning lessons in a way they wouldn’t get from a lecture.
