INSTRUCTIONS

Reflect on your team's performance.

A) As a team, how well did you fare? What were some of the strategies or approaches that your team took to make sure you do well?

B) Were there instances where you did not do as well as you expected? What was the likely cause?

C) What other game strategy would you want to try if we restart the game?

In the beginning, we did not fare well enough. We had to communicate more in order make it sucessful.

Yes, lack of communication.

Manage the city well.

we got caught in the middle of the last stage. we kept producing but we do not know who needs what. if we were to restart the game, we need to communicate with each other more and use a different statergy in producing energy and machinery.

Well, the problem is most probably, when players "spam" on the items, eg machinery and technology, ending up where the other player does not have the necessary items to produce what they need in order to continue manufacturing.

Case : Retailer Buys Machinery and all ends up with him. While government need energy machinery to produce energy for the players. Thats where things get stuck.

Better communication and have "reserves" in time of "crisis"

a) not bad. we managed to get the hang of the game after awhile.
the government keeps shouting orders for us to work. communication is IMPORTANT!

b)not really. but we did got stuck before because of the lack of energy and technology.

c)it isnt really must of a strategy. the game is rather repeative. and as i've said before we managed to get the hang of it and once that happens everything just so called run on it own.

we did not fare well enough.we did not know which role needed what and we just kept on playing, buying and producing unnecessary items.we did not have any ides on what was the whole game about in the first place?we'll communicate with each other and find out what they needed and will not produce things unnessarily.

we lack communication hence resulting in the "situation" of lack of energy and technology.

Our team lack communication.and there is too much confusion between the retailer and manufacturer.

the demands is very high and fast and the production is quite slow..so, there is shortage of sources..and some overspend..
