The Fair Game™ is a series of short role-playing games which explore the costs and benefits of world trading systems. Results are tabulated and connected to real world situations. Successful strategies can be reviewed in light of the values which motivate them. It includes questions for stimulating discussions.
The Fair Game™ was designed in Manitoba for use in Grade 10 Geography and Grade 12 World Issues classes. You may find it useful in other situations.
- Fair Game introduces basic play. It is a first chance for many to look at the spread of resources between regions. Basic trading skills and strategies are developed.
- Fair Price examines the influence of technology in modern markets. This is a chance to see the powers of key Traders.
- Fair Weather shows the interaction of economy and environment. The different consequences disasters have in different regions are demonstrated.
- Fair Share explores ways in which prices are managed and power is maintained. This game reveals forms of market dominance which create barriers to trade for poorer regions.
- Fair Trade brings in values beyond market efficiency. It offers an opportunity to consider the problems of a very different trading system.
- Fair Play is where post game deliberations can be examined as new rules created by groups who have played the Fair Games. Consequences of international economic challenges like fair trade, free trade, debt and depression, inflation and recession can be considered in the simplified simulations of the Fair Game™.
