Analog and digital games (e.g. video, role play, board, card, pedagogical, and alternative games) are platforms for modeling and experiencing events in fantastic, modern, or historical settings. When devising games based on ancient historical and archaeological contexts, an informed and critical approach is essential, lest games perpetuate problematic narratives or provide inaccurate representations of the past. “Rerolling the Past” builds off of the recent increase in academic studies of games to show how games can serve as a fruitful avenue for communicating information about the ancient world.

What does it mean to say a society has collapsed? Who is affected, and how do they respond to changing circumstances? In this lecture, these questions are addressed using new archaeological evidence from the collapse of the Hittite empire in ancient Turkey, part of a massive regional collapse that affected much of the Eastern Mediterranean at the end of the Late Bronze Age, ca. 1200 BCE.
