Playing cards represent the loot--spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs. To play effectively, students must use marginal analysis to determine whether prospective trades will benefit them, probe constantly for mutually beneficial exchanges that remain to be exploited, and bid more for cards that are relatively scarce.Click here to download rules and a scoring sheet. doctored photos depicting scenes we'll never see in the real world.
