McDonalds: The Game

Part I- The game that I have chosen is called "McDonalds" and it is about the company McDonalds.

Part II- The elements in this game were basically system, money, decisions, people, employment, and success. These all play a role in the game because they all take an effect on eachother while you play the game and you try to win.

Part III- Each element in this game affects the other. First of all, the element of **system** comes into the picture because there are many parts of this whole process that work together and effect eachother in a way that will either have the company make **money**, or lose money. It all depends on your **decisions** and which paths you chose to take in the game. The Decisions that you make affect the making of food and the **employees** that work for you. They get payed with money and are happy with their jobs and keep on making the food and selling it. If employees are able to keep making food, customers are able to buy it, making even more money into the system and making it more **successful.**

Part IV- This game is won by making all or most of the right decisions for the company and making sure that all of them work out so that the company makes money and it does not go bankrupt, but instead, it becomes wealthy and happy with all of your work and decisions. You have to make sure that you balance aall of the problems out with the solutions so the problems do not take over the game and cause you to lose.

Part V- The reason why someone would want to keep playing this game is that there are many, many choices and paths that you can take in this game, and you can only chose a few of them which can result in many different ways depending how you handle it. You keep on coming back to the game because you cant help but wonder after you have lost: "what would have happened if I chose this instead?" So each time you play, you try something new, which can add to the excitement.

Another game that I chose to play was called "ElectroCity." It is a game where you basically develop your own community and neighborhood. There were a few main elements to pay attention to while playing this game. They were construction, ideas, actions, and decisions. All of these elements put together basically create this game and all of it's characteristics. First, in order to make sure that your city is unique, you must have ideas. Then, you need to make sure that your ideas become developed by making decisions in order to construct and take actions in building your game. I do not think there is really a way to win this game, however, you can make sure that the game is successful by making the right decisions for your city and really developing and building it in a way that it becomes a good community to live in. The reason why this game is so addicting and keeps you coming back is that each time, you want to make sure that your city is better and more developed than the last time that you built and expanded on it. Overall, I thought that this game was pretty fun to play even though it was a bit confusing at times.
