The gameplay involves some positive themes, such as taking initiative to problem-solve, learning from your experiences, and planning to reach long- and short-term goals. Kids will get a chance to practice multitasking and use critical thinking skills such as analysis and decision-making. Competition is also part of the game, though, and they can enact cards that will cause other businesses to have operational problems, such as reduced sales. New aspects of the game are well-explained and introduced at a reasonable pace.

Just the same as in life, In this game I took tips from other people and talked to other people to see what they’re doing.
