Aimlabs Challenge

FalleN challenges you to think more critically about your economy. In your next game, try to think more generally about your economy and how you should purchase to follow the guidelines that FalleN has set. You can also combine what you learned in Lesson 3 about leadership, and try to facilitate team purchases by understanding where everyone’s economy is on your team. For example, if you notice that your team is low on funds after a round loss, ask everyone on your team to save so you can fully buy in the following round.
