Paper Bag Game

This game was frustrating. We were probably the most efficient group and made the highest quality bags but we made the least money in the end. We sold 65 paper bags; the most out of all the groups by far. Yet, in the end, we only had 6 rupees. We would have had 8 rupees but we spent 2 on some more glue. Another group preformed for the shopkeeper and earned a lot of money. When she was giving them the money, I wanted to rip my hair out. I was so mad at them because while we were working like robots in an assembly line, they were doing stupid dances and getting praised with money.
Our strategy was to divide up the work. SG and Monise did the folding while Ashleh, and I glued.
Other groups had similar ways of work than us but we worked the fastest. When we only had a few minutes left I stole some bags which led to chaos in the area. The group that won was the performing group. At the end they stole a handfull of rupees from the shopkeepers stash and "made the most money" out of all the groups.
We should have gone on strike and got bigger brushes because the brushes we got were ether tiny or broken. If we had bigger brushes we could have made more bags. Otherwise the game was fun and a good learning experience.
