This is a simulation game I play in the class. Students don't really have any need to see this, but teachers may want to look it over to see how it works and what I pass out. It won't ruin any thing if students read it, but it might spoil some of the amusing surprises. The rules are in an old version, but the score sheet and the countries are pretty well balanced.
