How The Game Works
By translating core elements of the global economic system into cards, chips,
folders, badges, and other familiar objects, the Global Simulation Workshop
allows players of all ages and backgrounds to act naturally, trust their
instincts, and teach each other. An experienced Facilitator with extensive
multimedia support helps translate their work back into real-world terms.
