A first prototype of the Interplay serious game has been developed. It aims at :

• allowing farmers to explore the diversity of intercropping options given expected services and constraints at the cropping system (e.g. previous and following crops) 
• to assess their potential by simulation.

The prototype has been tested with researchers during two workshops at the annual project meeting in Pamplona. The workshops were dynamic and constructive. Starting with the same initial situation, the 2 groups got to very different cropping systems. This confirms the potential of such a game to explore a diversity of intercropping options. Plenty of interesting suggestions to improve this prototype are being considered: e.g. offering the opportunity to include more than one mixed crop in the crop sequence.
