      abstract = {Agricultural policies in India directly impact the  livelihoods of close to two thirds of India’s population.  Through policies, the
government manages food security,  urban and rural poverty, energy, and infrastructure, among  others. Given the current state of India’s
governance, the  connection between policy making and its results in society  becomes a key issue for research. This paper presents a  game for
use as a research instrument. The game can  facilitate research into the policy making process at  various levels of the government in India. The
design is  intended to understand the complexity of the institutional  arrangement that defines and implements agricultural  policies. The game
integrates with other games that  simulate other aspects of the agricultural system in India.  The paper presents the verification and validation
cycles  followed, and identifies further steps for field  validation.},
