This procedure will be repeated three times before the game is over.)Ī) Adjust production by moving one of the arrows up or down.ī) Take a look at the "total value of goods before trade" at the same time – it will give you a hint on how you should divide your production of cell phones and jeans. (The challenge for you will be to adjust your country's production and thereafter its trade. This means you should start producing many jeans so you can sell them to your trade partner later on.Ĭlick on "production" when you want to start playing. Therefore they will be interested in buying jeans from you. If your trade partner owns a lot of capital, they will produce more cell phones than jeans. If it says "Try to predict how our trade partner will produce", it means you have to recall whether you picked a capital-intensive or a labor-intensive trade partner. (The bigger the difference, the bigger potential gain from trade.)įor clues click on "council". Choose a trade partner that differs from your own by clicking on that particular island.
Fill in your name before you eventually click on "OK" in the bottom right corner.Ī) Move the mouse cursor over your own country/island to see if you have much capital or much labor. Then click "OK" to move on.Ĭreate yourself by clicking on the buttons referring to your looks. Choose one of the four islands to trade with by clicking on it. Move the mouse cursor over the four different islands to see what the differences are. An example of such goods are textile products such as jeans. Other goods require less production equipment and rely mostly on labor (the efforts of the workers). An example of such goods are cell phones. Some goods require more capital (technical equipment and machinery), and are called capital-intensive. So if your country has a lot of labor, then your ideal trade partner would have a lot of capital. This ultimate trade partner is one that differs as much as possible from your own country's amount of labor and capital. The most important factor in achieving a good result in this game, is to start by choosing the ultimate trade partner/island. You can hit the highscore – "All-time high" or "Highscores of the week". If you manage to trade well - your island/country will prosper. As a ruler of an island you want to engage in international trade in order to achieve this goal. You are to make an island (a country) prosper by trading.
