What the award recognises
ISAGA is the International Simulation and Gaming Association. ISGC is the International Simulation & Gaming Competition, where participants present their games to reviewers and fellow practitioners.
The review is hands-on. Reviewers play the games and consider how well they serve their teaching purpose, alongside playability and creativity. Entrants facilitate play, lead a debrief and answer questions about their work.

In Business Heroes, students manage a virtual food business. They set prices, hire staff, plan marketing and manage cash, then see how those choices affect the business.
Faculty can bring those decisions into classroom discussions, reflections and assignments, giving students a shared experience to analyse.
