The Choice Game

BUSINESS E1a

In the middle of this board game you see a red circle as the starting point of the game. On the sides, there are 12 possible ending points in red circles. The yellow circles are the road between the beginning and the ending of the game.

BUSINESS E1b

The legend panel where the symbols from BUSINESS E1a are explained. It explains the symbols and choices in the board game and also serves as a template for the chalk drawn table in which the players note their situation/choices and follow-up their budget.

The first part of the legend (top) refers to the choices made along the way. The second part of the legend (bottom) contains explanations of the various symbols depicted in the game and what their consequence is.

BUSINESS E1c

The rotation disc consists of five circles, each representing a different path:

1. The circle closest to the rotation disc in the centre represents a dice. Simultaneously, this circle is used for the gambling game (roulette). If one lands on the gambling symbol, one can choose how much money to bet. Once the bet is made, one spins the disc. If the arrow points to green, one wins this amount of money; if the arrow points to red, one loses the amount that was bet.
2. The blue circle represents different types of street jobs. All jobs earn 20 at each salary symbol, except begging and theft, which only earns ten.
3. The green circle depicts different forms of professional employment, where one works within a structure, organisations, company, etc. All these jobs earn 40.
4. The red circle represents different businesses, each of which earns 50.
5. The outer orange circle contains different types of street businesses, each earning 30.

• To make the game more challenging, you can add competitive games to certain symbols or add new rules to the symbols: a. whenever someone comes on the "competition" symbol, they need to do a round of "rock-paper-scissors" with all the others in the same sector b. if someone lands on the "interest" symbol, everyone with a loan has to pay the increased interest rate (- 10) c. if you land on the "police" symbol, the players need to pay a fine (- 10) if they are involved in an illegal activity. This on top of a skip a turn like all the rest.
• Combine with the panels on operational and capital costs (BUSINESS B2a - B2c). The players indicate what materials need to be bought for which business.

• Look into different job opportunities, business possibilities and their consequences.
• Understand what it means to invest, what the advantages and disadvantages are of starting a business.
