Week 4-Thoughts

This week we played crossing the bridge. In this game, you cross the border and you have 3 vehicles to start with each vehicle gets loaded with cargo, however, the cargo can either be weed, cocaine, fruit, pork, and an alien. You have to try and smuggle these things over the border to get money. With that money, you stop at the mall and buy things to furnish your house.  I know this is supposed to be a serious game but I didn’t really take it that way. I felt I was more worried about getting drugs over the border to make more money. While playing the game it felt more comical but looking back I could see how it was supposed to be serious. Due to the smuggling of drugs to get more money to buy simple things such as a stereo. People are sacrificing themselves to just provide things for their families and going through the whole process just to buy furniture or a TV.
