Buckminster Fuller first proposed the World Game concept in 1961 as the core curriculum at the (then new) Edwardsville Campus of Southern Illinois University. The idea was to "make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological damage or disadvantage to anyone." Fuller proposed it again in 1964 for the 1967 International and Universal Exposition (or "Expo 67") in Montreal, Quebec. In 1972, the World Game Institute was founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by Fuller and others. Other organizations such as the Buckminster Fuller Institute and the Global Energy Network Institute work for similiar goals.
