Commodities Game: Overview

A distant aunt has just left you £90,000 in her will.
You decide to use the money to start up as an international trader.
Your job is to make as much money as you can over the next 10 years.
You do this by buying goods at the beginning of each year which will hopefully be more valuable by the end of it.

Instructions

You start the simulation with your £90,000 spread across a range of goods.
You will then be told what is about to happen during the course of the year in a particular continent.
Your job is to think about:
(a) What goods are produced by this continent that will be affected?
(b) Will this event makes those goods harder to obtain ( = more valuable) or easier to obtain ( = less valuable)?

You should then use this information to decide what goods to sell, and what goods to buy instead.
You will then be told whether you made a profit or a loss, and move on to the next year.

Good Luck!
