We are making a turn-based cryptocurrency trading game using python to teach players about 8 of the most prominent cryptocurrencies, We will also have quests that the players can attempt to gain extra points at the end of the game. Starting the game: You get to pick a starting date anytime between 2013 and 2018, and a number of turns to make decisions for. Basic Rules: Time will go by a month for every turn the player goes through, so basically the player is allowed to make a series of decisions & transactions every month. The crypto market is modeled entirely after the actual behaviors of the same cryptocurrencies for the past 5 years. How to play: You start with a fix sum of assets, and you want to invest in various types of securities, mainly cryptocurrencies, since it is the primary focus of this game. The player is encouraged to invest in the cryptocurrency market, although it is also reasonable in some cases to invest in other types of security. If the player is bankrupt before the end of the time span, then the game is over. If the time span is finished, the points are given based on the quests the player has fulfilled and the current net-worth. Purpose of the game: We created this game to educate players about financial literacy. By putting the players into a realistic situation and allowing them to make real-world decisions, we can teach them the potential risk and gains of investing in financial securities, mainly cryptocurrencies, which many deemed to be a high volatile asset.
