Asked to explain their choices 48% of players cited information on infection risks modelled by the game and 31% stated that their choices reflected awareness of the need for personal action and respect for local regulations. The data relate to rural populations in Sierra Leone exposed both to Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in 2014-15 and now to Covid-19 in 2020. Three kinds of responses (Table 5 , 89% of all remarks) dominated comments after people made choices in the game-need for rules governing e.g. quarantine, comments on personal capacities to prevent or avoid infection (often made in the context of justifying a choice for disease "mango"), and comments about the relative risks to be inferred from "reading the stones" (i.e. recognition of a pattern in the way the stones were cast, as in divination practices).	./cache/cord-324359-88vy3dre.txt	./txt/cord-324359-88vy3dre.txt
