1. Improve your grades.

• Studies show students retain under 10% of what they hear in lecture, but up to 80% of what they do (learning-by-doing).

2. Improve your comprehension.

• By observing how markets function in a dynamic setting, the game allows you to see the impact of changing economic conditions through time.

3. Have fun

• Learn economics with a real "hands-on" approach.
• Use economic principles to "beat the market" in the game.
• It is both a challenging and rewarding way to learn economics.

4. Learn how to apply economics.

• Apply economic concepts to solve problems, not just memorize economic facts and theories.

5. Remember what you learn.

• It is easy to forget a lecture, but learning economics by playing a challenging game will help you retain information for a long time.

6. Advance your career.

• After graduation, being able to really apply economic analysis and talk about it, will be helpful in most careers.
