Brief description: | |||
Students will be divided into 8 groups of 5 to represent 8 fishermen. They jointly own a pond. These 8 fishermen, under the restriction of no communication between them, are allowed to fish from their pond. | |||
For the first round, every six fish caught will be awarded for 1 candy. Should there be any left for the second round, every six fish caught will be awarded for 2 candies. | |||
Then this game will be played for another two times in which fishermen are allowed to communicate and private property right is in place respectively. |
