SAMI is a video game for learning about bovine cattle production systems. The game is developed with Unity Engine, has rules based on a model implemented with System Dynamics. On each game, the player must take decisions and do actions that allow him to properly run a farm. Those actions are stored in a website which provides feedbacks by comparing the executed actions with those which are ideal in order to ease the learning process. The article presents the main aspects of the proposal, that is, part of the model in which it is supported and a summary of the main aspects of implementation in Unity.
