GAME ON

In my class we had to choose 1 out of 3 games to play that made you work with supply and demand.   I chose one that was called Diner City.  I passed the tutorial and level 1, but after several tries I was unable to make it through level 2.  The game is fairly addicting so I am going to keep trying until I finally pass.

Although it was just a game, Diner City made me consider things such as how price influences my decision to buy and sell products and how to manage scarce resources and money.
If I have something that I do not need but I can sell for a large amount of money I will do so.  On the other hand if I am lacking money I will not go out and spend it on something that I do not need.  If I absolutely need something I will most likely purchase it, but if it is overpriced I will wait a few weeks and consider it again.  In order to succeed at the game, Diner City, you must allocate your resources reasonably, update your store often, and have the right amount of workers so that you are not under or over staffed.  This game made me think about all of the concious decisions I would have to make if I was the owner or manager of a store.
