Tamaani
A simulation game on Indigenous consent, extractive industries and decision-making under pressure.
Tamaani is a simulation game about free, prior and informed consent, negotiation, risk and community decision-making.
It is built around a simple premise: consent is not an abstract principle when a community is under pressure from companies, officials, investors, deadlines and internal disagreement.
What the game explores
Tamaani turns FPIC from a legal phrase into a structured decision-making situation. Players work through scenarios involving extractive projects, incomplete information, competing pressures, internal debate and the cost of saying yes, no, or not yet.
The project is being developed as both a physical game and a digital learning environment for communities, students, advocates and people working with Indigenous consent.
