The Canadian War Museum's new exhibit is called War Games, exploring the importance of gaming to military training and strategy, as well as the impact of conflict on games in popular cultural.
Do you remember playing with toy soldiers as a kid? A friendly game of Battleship, Chess, or maybe you immersed yourself in the latest online 'first-person shooter' video games.Now the Canadian War Museum presents its newest exhibition, called 'War Games.' It opens to the public at the museum in Ottawa on Friday.
War, play, and games have long and interconnected histories. War has shaped the games people play, and militaries have used games for recruitment, planning and training. The exhibit also looks at ways in which militaries around the world have used games and game technology. There are interactive displays, reproductions of historic war-games, strategy, simulations, artifacts, and even foreign games that represent other perspectives.
