Game Schooler Recommendation

Funfair does an excellent job of introducing resource management and the “return on investment” concept. Players must manage their finances wisely while working toward goals. With the addition of risk management elements, Funfair could be confused as a business primer in a box. However, the game is fun, and the skill development sits beneath gripping gameplay and fantastic artwork. Turn your students into theme park moguls with Funfair!
