While the name may sound ridiculous, the NFB is using the game as a way to educate children ages 9-12 on the issues of social innovation and a sustainable economy. <!--break--> As for the game itself, I Love Potatoes plants players in the shoes of a character named Chips who must figure out a way for his village to survive after it suffers misfortune.
