Description

An educational game designed to demonstrate how health care costs work in the U.S. health care system. Players roll and move around a circular track, paying and receiving money as directed on the squares they land on, or on "Cost" cards drawn when they land on a "Cost" square. Each player has a varying Salary, which determines how much money they receive when they land on Collect Your Income squares; and a varying Insurance Status (Uninsured, Underinsured or Insured), which affects how much they have to pay on "Cost" squares. When a player runs out of money they are in "Limbo" and take no further part in the game. The last player surviving outside "Limbo" is the winner.
