Small, cropped screens from Diamond Trust of London, a “two-player strategy game about diamond trading in Angola” just before the formation of an initiative (Kimberly Process) to hinder the flow of conflic diamonds.

The simple graphics aren’t pushing the DS’s hardware, but it’s a Jason Rohrer project, and most people don’t play his indie releasess (Passage, Between) for the visuals — even though they’re typically referred to as “art games.”

I’m really surprised Majesco is publishing this, as their recent slate of titles (Cooking Mama series, A Boy and His Blob) tend to target a much wider audience. I can’t imagine a game about conflict diamonds attracting many shoppers at GameStop. It wouldn’t surprise me to see this appear on DSiWare like the other indie project Majesco is pubishing, Ghostwire.
