COOPERATION
BARTER is the beginners' game.
MAJORITY RULE is the socialist game.
MAKING MONEY is the capitalist game.
AUTONOMY is the expert tournament game. It combines the strengths of the other three systems and avoids their weaknesses.
Playing each game lets players experience the positive and negative aspects of each system.
Up to six play in a game. Each player manages first one, then two, and finally three cities of 20,000 people each.
The object of a game is to obtain five basic resources for each city employing the fewest people to get them: food, fiber, wood, metal, and fuel. Players get 10 points for each different resource they obtain for their cities. They receive one free time point for each 1,000 people they do not employ.
Bob Gill and Bob Blain invented the game and believe that AUTONOMY simulates the ideal system that is how we can live in the future. It was developed over twenty five years of sociology classes playing the game, each time correcting problems until we found a system that would produce wealth for everyone with a minimum of work.
The game is based on Information Chain Theory.
