Unionslabor is a digital political simulation game that allows participants to experience and understand European decision-making by taking on the roles of national leaders within a fictional union. It focuses on learning through cooperation, conflict, and compromise.

The game works on smartphones, tablets, or computers, and has a blended-learning approach combines on-screen decision-making with face-to-face discussion.
