Policy trade-offs
Raise rates, cut taxes, boost transfers, or invest in supply-side reform and watch the economy answer back.

Why It Works
Replayable learning
Short runs create quick debate, retries, and comparison across students, scenarios, and historical moments.
How The Game Teaches
Students do not just identify policies. They feel the trade-offs that make macro hard.
Each run compresses years of economic pressure into a fast sequence of decisions, reactions, and political consequences.
Monetary moves
Interest rates, reserve requirements, and bond purchases shift inflation and demand.
Fiscal pressure
Taxation, transfers, and spending force trade-offs between growth, debt, and jobs.
Political survival
The public may reward results slowly and punish pain immediately.
