<P>Do you want to let your creativity run free and contribute to a better world at the same time? Come to the game night where next to playing games, we will also pay attention to creating new ones: <EM>Games for Good.</EM></P>
<P>In March, Waag organised a <A HREF="https://waag.org/en/event/common-play-us" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">game night</A> in which both the enthusiasm of the participants and the potential of serious games became clear. Serious games are a good means of making social themes tangible, and that gave us the idea of ​​creating serious games together with kindred spirits. In the end, we want to make the games available under the <A HREF="https://waag.org/en/project/creative-commons" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Creative Commons license</A>: online and for free.</P>
<P>Do you want to co-create Games for Good? Join us and Common Play With Us!</P>
<P>The commons philosophy is central to the games that we are currently working on. We will work together on games that revolve around sustainability, community and public values.</P>
<H3>Get started at home</H3>
<P>One of the games that we take as the starting point for this session is the <A HREF="https://waag.org/nl/article/digitale-identiteit-ganzenbord-gepubliceerd" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Digital Identity Ganzenbord</A>. The game was initially intended as a "conversation starter" and we would very much like to make it a fun and exciting game that can also be played in a different setting. Think of schools for example, or a homely setting. The right fit for when you want to have a critical discussion with your parents or friends.</P>
<P>Another example of a game to which we want to add other content and game-goals is <A HREF="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemic_(board_game)" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Pandemic</A>. If you have other ideas about games with potential, then you should come too!</P>
<P><EM>English is spoken during this event (but not exclusively).</EM></P>
<P>There are limited places available for this game night. Admission is € 5, including a drink.</P>

<H3>About Commons</H3>
<P>Commons are shared resources, managed by a community from the perspective of sustainability, inclusiveness and public added value. They offer room for bottom-up initiative and citizens' own directing. In the <A HREF="https://waag.org/en/labs/commons-lab" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Commons Lab</A>, Waag generates insight into contemporary commons and brings new forms of commons into practice. Co-operation is central: organizing a shared and balanced interest between different parties.</P>
<H3>The importance of Creative Commons licenses</H3>
<P>Creative Commons tools help to share your work. These free, easy-to-use copyright licenses provide <A HREF="https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">a simple, standardised way to give your permission to share and use your creative work</A> — on conditions of your choice. Waag uses them for all creative work of course, but hey, we were one of the parties that introduced them in The Netherlands in 2004.</P>
