SOunds like we have an effective meme breeding device in this game.
Based on this experience, I would suggest that the game be promoted
nationally among teaching and home schooling groups for use in high
school social studies and economics courses. I remember playing a
similar game, although it was past oriented. My social studies teacher
in 8th grade was covering the 1920's at that point and created a stock
investment game. Unfortunately, the game was rigged to crash, which was
the object of it, to demonstrate the effects of the 1929 crash, but I
noticed that it tended to ingrain an anti-capital meme in the students.
