Unscramble the Blue Letters

Every game we play is different. Some games are more about social issues, some are more about economic issues. Some gmeas are more about waafrre. But I don't try to deny them that raitley of being human. I allow them to go there and, through their own experience, learn, in a bloodless way, how not to do what they consider to be the wonrg thing. And they find out what is right their own way, their own selves. And so in this game, I've learned so much from it, but I would say that if only they could pick up a critical thinking tool or ctvreiae thinking tool from this game and leverage something good for the world, they may save us all. If only.

Original Text

Every game we play is different. Some games are more about social issues, some are more about economic issues. Some games are more about warfare. But I don't try to deny them that reality of being human. I allow them to go there and, through their own experience, learn, in a bloodless way, how not to do what they consider to be the wrong thing. And they find out what is right their own way, their own selves. And so in this game, I've learned so much from it, but I would say that if only they could pick up a critical thinking tool or creative thinking tool from this game and leverage something good for the world, they may save us all. If only.
