🎯 How to Play

Welcome to the Global Trade Simulation! You'll experience what it's like to be different countries trading resources with each other.

Your Mission: Work together to trade resources and maximize your country's wealth, but watch out for world events that can change everything!

📋 Game Rules

  • Each country starts with different amounts of 5 resources: Gold, Oil, Lumber, Electronics, and Coffee
  • Resources have different point values - Gold is worth the most, Coffee the least
  • Trade freely with other countries to try to get the most valuable resources
  • Watch for world events that will change resource values and trading rules
  • Your final score will be revealed at the end - but it's hidden during the game!
