Players own tin mines and must try to maximise production, transport the ore to the docks and either sell it or ship it on by sea to ports where it can be sold for Dollars. In theory it sounded a good game but it lacked any excitement as often a player would get bored before you were half way through. Unless all the players were really into puffing cigars and boasting about shooting JR, then you probably found it the same. The Business game was a good game but very specialised.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/business-game\/\"><img width=\"125\" height=\"99\" src=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/business-game-160x127.jpg\" class=\"alignright tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"Business Game\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/business-game-160x127.jpg 160w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/business-game-300x238.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/business-game-377x300.jpg 377w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/business-game.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/a><p>Business Game Waddington&#8217;s produced so many great games and every so often one stood out.
