spread of resources between regions. Basic trading skills and
strategies are developed.

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™.
The Marquis Project has prepared a video of students playing the game and they offer fair trade goods for sale on their site.
