The many games on this site were designed with elementary, middle, and high school students in mind, but my college freshmen and sophomores really enjoy them and get a lot out of them in terms of concept knowledge. Heck, *I* still play "Win the White House" every now and then myself! Highly recommended for a 100- or 200-level political science course as a complement to the usual textbook fare.
Used in course? Yes

This site is great and contains some really good games to help students who might be struggling or who want to learn more about civic engagement, the judicial system, or legislation.

This is really user friendly and I love the games. I really think my 10th graders will love this.
