Today's teachers have to compete with iPods®, the Internet, and the Xbox®.
We're giving them some educational ammo to shoot back.

War. Poverty. Disease. Illiteracy. Famine. Every day the majority of the world's population is faced with these crises.

Industrialized Europe and North America are the dream destinations for millions of people, but even these economic juggernauts struggle have their own set of problems. Conversely, some Third-World nations are on the verge of giving up while others are beginning to stretch their new found wings of power as the world's resource pool shrinks and the industrialized nations use up the last of their remaining resources. Global trade and technology exchange have become the order of the day.

Will the Thirds succeed in rising above the obstacles they face? Will the Firsts be able to maintain what they have without ruining the world for everyone? To find out you'll need to experience Firsts & Thirds.

Firsts & Thirds is an exciting simulation using real world models designed to allow six teams the chance to overcome the actual problems of either a First-World industrialized nation or a Third-World developing nation. Teams will trade resources and build their national infrastructure through investment and sweat equity while attempting to solve problems unique to their country. Comes complete with resource cards, player aid cards, simulation money, dice, and rules (includes lesson plan for educators).
