I acted as the negotiator to help our team get what we needed. A key moment was when we successfully rolled the dice with the bank and gained a lot of water. We faced challenges trying to trade for ‘tech’ cards because some teams didn’t want to trade.

Social, economic, and political issues are deeply connected, and no single solution can address all concerns equally. Whether it's building underground cities or managing immigration, different groups—such as citizens, companies, low-wage workers, and the government—are affected in unique ways. To create fair and lasting policies, we must balance national and global needs, respect diverse perspectives, and have open conversations that acknowledge both hopes and fears.
