The Game of Open Access is a teaching resource created by library staff at the University of Huddersfield to engage researchers with the key concepts and tools required to meet Open Access (OA) mandates in the United Kingdom.  Through the use of playful learning, it aims to develop an understanding of the role of Open Access through the initial idea for an article to its acceptance for publication. 

The game has been played by researchers and librarians in the context of library roadshows, during Open Access Week, in Open Access information sessions and more recently at the CILIP ARGL DARTS6 conference where delegates played the game and gave honest and constructive feedback on how it could be improved.
