Malign: Gaming Influence in the Information Age

Description: In recent decades, we have witnessed the rise of the information age, where controlling the narrative has become more complex than ever before. Sebastian J. Bae, Emily Yoder, Grace Hwang, and Jared Cooper designed Malign, a card-driven educational game with rigid rules, to have players grapple with the pernicious effects of malign influence, such as disinformation, to understand different ways that malign influence can take shape, and how we may build resiliency to its effects. This presentation will provide an overview of Malign and its objectives, game design process, and game mechanics.
Bio: Emily Yoder is a member of the game design team for Malign through the Georgetown University Wargaming Society. She is currently a Policy Analyst at the RAND Corporation, where she has designed and executed strategic and operational wargames, as well as educational games across a broad range of topics including force posture and mission prioritization. Emily has a M.A. in International Affairs from George Washington University and a dual B.A. in Political Science and Economics from the University of Pittsburgh.
