“…This ranges from representations that implicitly reflect the game creators' political views without the game being intended as political (Licari, 2020) to games that are consciously designed as forms of political discourse (Bogost, 2006). The latter category includes government-commissioned propaganda games such as the US' America's Army and China's Glorious Mission (Sandovar, Braad, Streicher, & Söbke, 2011), games that contribute to grassroots political activism (Wirman & Jones, 2020) and political resistance (Huang & Liu, 2021), as well as those created by disenfranchised citizens to "let out steam" in the absence of genuine political agency (Serada, 2023;Souri, 2007).…”

In addition to passing legislation, many parliaments in Europe and around the world engage in educational activities aimed at promoting democracy and explaining the legislative process. Increasingly, these educational activities take the form of serious games. But just how many European parliaments use games, and what do these games involve? This study is a survey of the use of serious games by European national parliaments’ visitor centres, based on a questionnaire and web page analysis. Out of the 43 countries surveyed, 25 were found to use some form of games. The study maps the game genres and activities the games contain, as well as the parliaments’ rationale for using them and intended target audience.

Situated within historical and regional (CEE) game studies, this article is an overview of games made in Poland after 1989 about Polish history up to the eighteenth century. It also outlines research made on those games, and it comments on changing cultural and political factors shaping the development of Polish history/heritage-themed games over the last three decades. We group the games in thematic-chronological categories: early medieval Slavic settings up to 1000, medieval to Renaissance Poland, and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth 1569–1795. Main findings: (a) Slavic fantasy became very popular with game developers after Witcher 3, but it has received little scholarly attention beside the witcher series. (b) Medieval Polish monarchies have barely caught the eye of game developers, which translates to the absence of related research. (c) The PLC period is well-represented in digital and nondigital games, and well-researched in historical games studies by Polish scholars in Polish and English.
