* Introduction Simulation Exercise requires no knowledge of economics. The objective is to learn about the reports/information within the game.

** We recommend practice games which are set up to mirror the Contest game or build or build up to it (i.e. level 1 game with only two decisions, to a level 2 with four decisions).

*** Contest games can be selected that will last one class period or an entire week.
