Good players make a good game: cases, part II
06.11.2009

'Good players make a good game' - claimed Diana from Estonia who moderated the Game in Tallinn only a week ago. I was astonished to know that '400,000 bicycles' winning idea takes less money to implement than building a single transport junction in the city - a response to sceptics who challenge the feasibility of some ideas!

In the next presentation about four games played in Ukraine, Bohdan has brought up some important lessons for future: a strong leader is needed for the project to keep the network together and push ideas forward. Sometimes a vision is what matters in the game - not a ready-to-use solution that players might expect at the final stage.

27 to 1 is the population ratio between London and a Lithuanian city of Kaunas. Tomas Buzas spoke about the first game to interactively connect two European cities. Despite being much smaller than London, Kaunas is a city to host  the longest pedestrian avenue in Eastern Europe. However, the biggest doesn't mean the most successful, so players were looking for ways to revitalise it and bring people, lights and joy back to Freedom Avenue.
