Replay Value :
This game gives them the freedom to buy and sell things which they really like doing!
This game gives kids to feel like a responsible kid. Makes them feel like the head boy/Head girl of their school which motivates them a lot.
There is a lot of fun and competition factor in the game, every kid wants to be better than the other kid, this game hits on this nerve and make them feel this! And the best part is that along with having all the fun they end up learning about pro-fessions which is good for their immediate future.

risk
Handling money in the game can make it less learning game and treated more like a business game.
Parents might not want to buy it , in fear of exposing their kids to professions like dancers, actors, models etc. Keeping in mind the psyche of indian parents, they generally don’tappreciate such professions for their kids.

1st UTPlayers : Our team played
- Eliminated danger area- More Surprises should be there.- NO storyline (as in no connection in the tasks cards, why players is collecting professions)- Time management has to improve.- Reward should be there after completion of 1 task, to BOOST the game.- Need to introduce any superpower in the task.- Players was landing up on the profession which is needed by other player. Need to introduce some Rule.- Money transaction has to be increased.- Probability of winning was low.- Need to write Money on board and card
Changes in
sto
ry
Each player is a responsible kid of his/her school society, and everytime there is a problem he isapproached by his family or school head to take up certain responsibility.
The whole game revolves around him, and his urge to fulfill the tasks he is asked to perform!

- Players were taking long time.
- Color coding is disturbing
- Seems like its buying & selling rather than learning.

- Penalty & Bonus write in rules.
- And also they get tired in 45min
- Players were taken taken in very calculative manner
- Few Rules were bit ambiguous
- They were not reading stories/ scenarios on task cards
