Abstract

Inventing America: National Politics in the New Republic by Stuart Medalen is a basic game manual for a "Reacting to the Past" academic game. "Reacting to the Past" is a system that gives players the opportunity to roleplay historical events as specific historical characters. Rather than simply reenacting these events, players attempt to realize their character’s goals, putting them in competitive play against other players. The chosen historical period and place is the first Congressional session of the United States.
