Games about the Economy and Marketplace

  I played the Farmersi game and found it to be very applicable to the topic of managing scarce resources and money. The player is given a small amount of money to purchase land, cows and wheat, make investments to irrigate land, to take veterinary training, or become a partner in a shipping barge.
  Also, need to make decisions about wedding plans and keep the cash flowing to meet financial goals to increase farm value, and farm expenses. This includes production and shipping costs.
Each time a decision is made to purchase or sell something, there is a market change, such as an increase in the price to purchase a cow or a plot of land...
Hint: try maximizing purchases early in the game.
