Profitania: Economics simulation



I have hade some success with my high school Econ students using this game for extension activities/supplemental exploration/enrichment.

Profitania is the final part of LavaMind's business strategy series. It features gorgeous 3D imagery, rich sound and an extensive underground world to explore. You take on the role of an industrialist in the subterranean kingdom of Profitania, where your goal is to become a manufacturing powerhouse. The unique thing about Profitania is the real-time trading engine. In a fast-paced exciting rush of adrenaline, you must buy up the best goods on the commodity exchange before they disappear. Using these raw materials, you manufacture products to sell on the open market. Expanding your factories and researching new products, you compete against five other players in a race to become the leading underground industrialist.

Zapitalism combines beautifully rendered 3D graphic images with multi-player functionality in a game of business strategy. You will be able to make deals with the eccentric inhabitants of Zapinalia, invest in stocks & bonds, corner the market and construct mega stores. You can also venture out to explore the islands of Mermadan in search of treasure and mysterious relics. The first player to build a retail empire and outwit the competition wins. You can even play-by-email over the Internet with up to six players!
