Peace gaming is a neologism coined by Utsumi Takeshi to describe non military global simulation s, or simulations that involve both military and civilian variables. Peace gaming is based on the idea that global simulations which are modeled entirely on military actions Wargaming war gaming can never be more than zero sum games. In other words, in order for one side to achieve its objective, all others must lose. Proponents of peace gaming simulations argue that when civilian factors which exist in the real world, such as the economy , manufacturing , and trade are brought into play, the simulation becomes not only more realistic but also ceases to be a zero sum game. Through collaborative action on the part of the competitors as opposed to purely confrontational, all sides can gain benefit and thus all can theoretical ly claim victory.
