How it works
In this game, you will play 1 of 3 roles: a worker; a buyer; or you’ll work in a team.
Your aim is to make the most money as possible and to meet your livelihood needs. Depending on your role, you will be met with various challenges along the way.
In this game you will put your entrepreneurial abilities to the test – but will that be enough?!
Who’s being opportunistic? Who’s been dealt a good hand? Who’s been set up to fail? Are you able to see the whole or just the parts?
