ABOUT THIS SIMULATION

Students run a market stall across a full trading day, beginning with a limited cash float. They choose a pitch, buy stock, set prices and watch customer demand respond. Unsold goods carry into later selling periods but may eventually be written off. The gameplay encourages students to balance sales volume, margin, stock risk and uncertainty rather than simply choosing the highest possible price.
