Who we are: The CUNY Games Network is composed of over 100 educators from a wide range of CUNY campuses and disciplines. Our members are interested in games, simulations, and other forms of interactive teaching. We seek to facilitate the pedagogical uses of both digital and non-digital games in higher education and to encourage research and scholarship in the dynamic and growing field of game-based learning. Our steering committee consists of a multi-disciplinary group of CUNY faculty and staff.

Five-Thirty-Eight, one of my favorite websites, has a new game blog. The website started out as Nate Silver’s election forecast blog, and has moved on to be a great place to read about all things statistical, including the stats behind what makes a board game great: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/designing-the-best-board-game-on-the-planet/ and what makes a board game awful: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-worst-board-games-ever-invented/?ex_cid=538twitter . Both posts are really fun, even if you are not a stats person.
