The Econogame

Q:
Can workers start their own businesses at any time?
A:
Yes. However, they must take out a loan like the other business owners. I suggest that businesses become more (or less) expensive each Quarter. For example, in Quarter 2, a new business loan might cost $85,000 instead of the $75,000 paid by the original business owners. The new business owner still gets the same amount of money and cards as the original ones did. The $10,000 difference is just the added cost of opening up the business.
Q;
Can I sell my house?
A:
Yes, but it will cost you a percentage, say 2%, of the current value as a transaction fee. For example, if value is $200,000 the fee (which is paid to the Bank) would be $4,000.
Q:
Can we have three people in one house?
A:
No, in order to have enough Demand for Econos, the game needs enough Households.
Q:
Can we rent?
A:
Yes, but some person needs to own the house you are renting. If you can find a person or business that wants to buy houses and rent them, that is okay. You still have to buy the number of Econos based on the value of the house you are renting.
