Abstract: This paper explores the use of the Acculturative Game Design (AGD) Framework to address acculturative stress and promote understanding within the Latine community in the United States. The Latine population faces unique challenges related to acculturation, intergenerational communication, and mental health, particularly concerning issues related to gender identity and sexuality. The study aims to explore the application of the AGD Framework, a framework aimed at mitigating acculturative stress and improving intergenerational communication among Latine participants, through a pilot workshop. Participants designed games reflecting Latine cultural values, illustrating mechanics and preferences relevant to their experiences. This inaugural application of AGD with Latine participants provides insights into serious games' potential in this context.
