DescriptionSpacEcon is an economics game created around the Singapore-Cambridge 'A' level syllabus that aims to teach students about Productivity.

In the distant future, the civilization of Man has fallen due to pollution and civil war. The few remaining colonies are relegated to wandering in space, looking for a new place to call home.

You are a Space Wanderer who discovers a planet to build your new home! Scavenge for minerals near your planet to construct infrastructure to attract more space wanderers to your planet to help build your economy and manage your resources!

SpacEcon is a fun way to learn the economic principles of growth and efficiency in and outside of the classroom.
