Publisher's Synopsis

In this Reacting to the Past game, the classroom is transformed into Athens in 403 B.C. In the wake of Athenian military defeat and rebellion, advocates of democracy have re-opened the Assembly, but stability remains elusive. As members of the Assembly, players must contend with divisive issues like citizenship, elections, re-militarisation and dissent. Foremost among the troublemakers: Socrates.

Reacting to the Past is an award-winning series of immersive role-playing games that actively engage students in their own learning. Students assume the roles of historical characters and practise critical thinking, primary source analysis, and argument, both written and spoken.
