Common Ground

The game player is assigned a random food with given traits - color, native region, growth cycle, irrigation needs, fertilizer dependency, etc. The player is then presented with a Clear Remit, or Main Question.  Real-world information and evidence is available to the player.  It is up to the player to decide for themselves how informed they want to be.  The player then engages with other players/AI in a messaging app to propose ideas/questions/topics that apply to the main question of any of the sub-questions posed by the game.  Our first mini-game will pit the player against other food items to try to find common traits between them.  The higher the score a player gets in the mini-game, the more alignment they might see with their opinions with the other food items.  In the end, the community messages, recommendations and responses are compiled into an Assembly Report to present to the organizers.  Scoring will be based on how the fictional organizers respond on why they will or why they will not implement each recommendation in the Assembly Report.
