Abstract	In April 1971 the Ontario Educational Communications Authority evaluated its simulation game "Operation Moonvigil", an action and reflection process for students in grades five through nine, designed to allow them to discover how and why institutions come into being and interact with individuals. Questionnaires were distributed, student reports of the game were collected, and observers watched classroom activities. The majority of the teachers felt "Operation Moonvigil" was successful, that they would use it again, and that they would recommend it to other teachers. Nearly 80% of the students favored it. Pre-game teacher workshops, accessory materials, and teacher involvement activities were seen as useful. Knowledge gained from the evaluation was felt to be helpful to the future modification of gaming experiences, particularly in the area of aiding teachers and students to adapt to the new modes of teacher-student interaction which gaming requires.
