With the intention to increase familiarity with the current condition of food distribution, and gather people in a discussion about the access to the food we eat, Eat It! team is organizing a series of events, under the name of "Eat It! Tournament" where people confornt their knowledge of the supermarket business with their own private interests.

Three rounds of the game were played, the last one lasted for over an hour. Martin Haettasch was an absolute winner.

EAT IT! City Simulator: SUPREMACY is a city-building game. It is a game about business models and their impact on space. Through providing elementary urban planning tools, it helps to create awareness of the power structures involved in both land usage and food distribution systems. It exposes the conflict and confrontations of public and private interests through the impact of supermarkets on different city zones.

The EAT IT! City Simulator game is an attempt to structure and analyse current problems in urban planning, and more generally, problems of power distribution. The city simulator is based on the food industry and distribution model, and consists of three parts:

The board game, with the initial state of the city determined by people's opinions and players assuming the roles of two competing supermarket chains;

The simulation, showing the effect of people's opinions on a space, delineated by the rules of the game

The Survey gathering people's opinions on food distribution models and also their shopping habits (visit the link to the left to fill in the survey >>);
