Economic+Survivor+Student+Instructions

In this game, your goal is to win the game by accumulating as much food, clothing, cars, televisions, and capital (money) as you can. If you can’t win, you want to at least survive. You do this by having the basics of life when the game ends. To survive, at the end of the game you must have the following [] // Envelope with your starting tickets //. These are not all the same. Some of you have only LABOR (work) tickets. Others of you have land and/or education tickets. 1. Accumulate the things you need (and want) by exchanging your tickets. 2. Food, clothing, capital, televisions, and cars are available from adults. 3. Land is only available from other students. Negotiate as well as you can. 4. If you have an EDUCATION ticket, you will always need 1 less labor ticket to make an exchange. (For instance, a clothing ticket only costs a person with education 1 labor ticket.) 5. If you trade for a CAPITAL ticket, you can use it repeatedly for exchanges. 6. After you’ve made ONE exchange with a teacher, you must either go to the end of the line. Food = 1 capital ticket + 2 labor tickets Clothing = 2 labor tickets Capital = 4 labor tickets OR 2 labor tickets + 1 capital ticket Television = 1 capital + 2 labor tickets Car = 2 capital tickets + 3 labor tickets __ Note __ : CLOTHING tickets are limited. There are only enough so that everyone can have two tickets—if you can acquire them.
