Buy, Buy, Buy - my love affair with economic simulation board games (Topic Discussion)

There is a type of board game that I absolutely love. In fact,
I've always loved it. Economic simulations somehow activate a
certain part of my brain that is really stimulating. These games
not only activate my brain's reward centre, but their competitive
nature and the element of bluffing all scratch the right itches
for me. In this article, I want to look in a bit more detail at
which games fall into this category of economic simulation and
what it is about them that I enjoy so much.
