Overview

Ğeconomicus is an economic simulation game allowing to discover the influence of money issuance on the exchanges. Players buy and sell economical values in order to create new ones. Time is an important part of the game, on many levels, particularly on the humans and values life cycle.

The purpose of the game is mainly to compare different kinds of money, specially the libre money, as demonstrated in the Relative Theory of Money.

The game presents itself as a free website (to download and install on your own server) featuring the rules, cards and banknotes to print, spreadsheet files to allow the making of final reports, and links to game examples (videos, websites...).
