- Is CRISIS based on real events or real actors?
- No. All factions, locations, and events are fictional. The game models general dynamics of escalation and resource competition, not any specific real-world situation.
- What is a matrix game?
- A matrix game is a facilitated, discussion-driven wargame format in which a human controller adjudicates player arguments and actions. The format is widely used in professional education because it stays flexible where rigid rules would break.
- When will CRISIS be available?
- The game is in active design. The development status band on this site is updated as the project moves from Concept to Design, External Playtest, and Production.
- Do reservations cost anything?
- No. Reservations are free and non-binding, and no payment is collected at any point on this site.
- What languages will be supported?
- English first, with a Simplified Chinese edition following.
- What is the companion tool?
- An optional web application that assists the facilitator with bookkeeping and settlement. It is currently shown as a concept only.
- Who is CRISIS for?
- Hobby players who enjoy asymmetric strategy, educators, and professional facilitators or institutions looking for a ready-to-run crisis exercise.
- How can our organization engage?
- Reserve at the Institutional tier or request a briefing on the Professional page.
