1. 6. HARVEST 2. STEPS OF PLAY Select the number of fish you wish to harvest this year. Record the number on a slip of paper, insert the paper in your ship and take the ship to the operator to fill in your order. Harvest requests will be filled in random order. Receive your ship, remove the fish and start again with Step 1. Things to consider Youll want to maximize your harvest. The ocean can hold up to 50 fish. If your order exceeds the number of fish in the ocean you get no fish that year. We will run the game for 6 8 years (rounds). 3. REALITY 4. DISCUSSION What happened in the game? Who was responsible for this result. What would have been the max possible wealth available to all teams? (e.g. 10 years x 25 fish = 250 fish divided by number of teams). What wealth did the teams actually achieve? Was there a winner? What policies would you have to follow to achieve max harvest for all? Where do you see examples of this in real life?
