Games can be used as tools for science and society by modeling complex systems and dynamics. They allow exploration of possibilities through repetition and practice in safe environments. Different types of games develop different skills, from basic abilities to higher-order strategic and social intelligence. By representing ideas as interactive systems, games can help build understanding of topics from weapons development to military planning on various scales of analysis.
