Description / Abstract

As part of GOAL21: Gaming Opportunities in Academic Libraries, a grant awarded to MidAmerica University, the game "For $ale: The Game of Property and Prosperity" was played in a Principles of Microeconomics class during Spring of 2015. This paper discusses why For $ale was chosen, how it was introduced to the class and played, how the class was debriefed, and the results of a paper assigned for each student to complete. In general, students enjoyed playing For $ale and felt it was a good addition to Principles of Microeconomics.
