SOCIAL ISSUE BEHIND GAME

1. The social issue behind our game is that we have to make different kinds of shelters, and centers for animals, the young and the old. The social issue is very obvious because we have to raise money in order to make the centers and shelters stay open.

3. People should care about our social issue because our social issue is telling the world to do something about homelessness, and children being on the streets dealing drugs, when they could be in a safe environmental youth center or performing arts center. The basic thing about this game is that the game is telling us that we need to help out on the streets, even if we have to have a fund raiser in order to get the money in order to build the buildings.

4. There are many things that I am able to do right now and it is to volunteer at different Performing arts centers, Senior Centers, and also, Youth Centers. You can also help by keeping the young off of the street instead of influencing them to go and try to "make money."

GAME REVIEW

1. The game was kind of kind of hard and kind of easy. The hard part was keeping up with your money. No, we didn't read the instructions. Only two of us won the game. The thing that we had to accomplish is to get people, and animals off of the streets by making shelters, animal shelters, senior centers, youth centers, and also performing arts centers.

2. When we played the game they showed a picture of a map which looked real. There are not many other graphics in the game. The thing we like about the graphics is that it looks like we are actually helping people and animals out.

3. The game was supposed to teach us how to help others out, by getting grants from diferent people, and also going into debt. We have to maintain our money, and cannot stay in debt for more than 2 months. If we do then we lose.

4. Yes, we would recommend Karma Tycoon(KT) to our peers, because KT, is very fun to play, and we would also all play the game at home. I think every one would like this game because it can help you with some of your own daily problems. Don't we love video games that help us?
