The Value Auction

Maintain your integrity. Get what you want.

 

Wow. This game was an eye opening experience.

We all competed in an auction for things that everyone wanted:

 

Good education

Peace

No Poverty

Good healthcare

Happiness

Clean environment

Equality

No crime

 

In the end, most teams were nearly out of money and still, nobody had exactly what they wanted. We soon realized that competing for these things hadn't benefited anyone. We had to find a better way to play so that everyone could have these critical things.

 

We learned several key points:

 

The World is Abundant

Never compromise your values.

Look for ways to work together instead of competing.

Support other people in going for what they want.

Play WIN/WIN instead of WIN/LOSE.

Money is a resource...never a goal.

 

Imagine a world where people played this way. We could make large changes and help many people to have better lives.
