- Abstract
‘Fair Game?’ is a participatory game that was designed to allow its players to comprehend the possibility of life choices and cultural capital throughout their lifespan. The game’s objective is to engage the players with multiple questions about life choices and involve in a dialogue. ‘Fair Game?’ is likely a suitable platform to mediate a dialogue through participation, utilizing a concept that individuals will be able to establish a connection to the rules of the game from their acquired knowledge of their own specific cultural setting, as well as forge each of their own agency in the game that is basically imitates and illustrates the life itself. The methodology used in generating this game is qualitative data through journal and article reading and testing on several game platforms. After the theory and concept are formulated, the game itself is formed to adapt the surroundings, especially the people who participates in it. The game’s visualization imitates a traditional game like hopscotch, also combined with snakes and ladders to illustrates about agency. By the end of the game, the participants reflect on how the dice give them a sense of agency but also limits it, which proves Bourdieu’s theoretical concept about agency and decision in life not just depends on the how human develop their life with their own ability but also their capability which governed by cultural capital of every player.
