The year is 3047. Your team represents a fictional country that is part of a larger group of countries. Each independent country uses a similar monetary system using colored coins but their value varies from one country to another. Following some political decisions, all countries have been incorporated into one group – The United Republic of Empiria. Following a governmental centralization plan, the value of each currency is about to be changed to establish a new common monetary system. Therefore, the monetary reserve of each country will be evaluated using a point and bonuses system of the new monetary system. Having limited information at your disposal, each country tries to maximise its own budget.

This activity is designed to offer participants the opportunity to improve their teamwork skills, focus on team priorities, but also on building productive relationships with the other teams, using impactful strategies to reach the desired goals (competition-collaboration).
