The development of a digital prototype for a game that explores the history of medieval legal codes with an initial focus on the Mishneh Torah written by Maimonides.

This project will prototype a strategic card-to-mobile game based on medieval religious legal codes and will provide a public outreach plan. The purpose of the project is to enhance religious literacies and improve discourse about religious legal systems and increase awareness of the prosocial aspects of religious legal systems (collaboration and cooperation).
