Overview
The Scenario: (PLAY TWICE, Two (2) Founder Groups)
You are part of a small group of people who have journeyed hundreds of miles by canoe to a remote, uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean. Now that you have landed safely, you begin to set up your new civilization. Your goal is to have a sustainable civilization. If you have too many people on your island, you might run out of resources to sustain them. On the other hand, if you have too few people in your population, you run the risk of dying off if the death rate suddenly rises (e.g. widespread illness).
•Play 10 Rounds
•Each round = 1 generation
•Choose a birth rate each round
•Roll one dice for child mortality rate
•Roll one dice for adult mortality rate
•Children born = next fertile population
•The island has only 500 units of resources
•Each child requires 1 resource unit
•Each adult requires 2 resource units
•If the total required resources is >500, restart population with founder group (8 adults)
