| Description | (also see trailer in URL below) The Lost & Found games project seeks to expand the discourse around religious legal systems, to enrich public conversations in a variety of communities, and to promote greater understanding of the religious traditions that build the fabric of the United States. The 3rd and newest module, Lost & Found: New Harvest, draws from sources such as the Averroes' (Ibn Rushd) The Distinguished Jurist's Primer and Al-Hidayah by Burhan al-Din al-Marghinani. This Islamic law module also allows players to learn about the shared relationship between Jewish and Islamic legal systems of medieval North Africa. New Harvest can be played as a stand-alone game, or it can be paired with the original Lost & Found base game, so that players can take on both Jewish and Muslim roles and explore how these laws play out for these two communities, both living in Fustat (Old Cairo) in the 12th century. |
