MindGames (Creative Games Club)
Many games today are a simulation of everyday interactions and processes which individuals and communities encounter.  They incorporate and develop various social and psychological skills such as negotiation, persuasion, conformity, compliance, social expectations and a host of other cognitive and emotional developments that come to the fore whenever these games are played. Needless to say, games, by their own merit, offer an excellent vehicle for greater in-depth insight into the varied and complicated routes that are so often hidden deep within the human psyche. As such, it is the goal of this club to provide its members with an opportunity to experience an alternative way to observe,learn and hone their psychological acumen beyond the confines of the classroom. Wouldn't it be great if all learning was this fun?
