The Factory Game 1

The factory game was very cool. The background was that we were serfs or peasants before the industrial revolution. Back then all objects were made by hand. It took me a while to put together a simple paper cut out, so how long would it have taken a craftsman to create a wooden tool. We only had to cut out a two dimensional figure, but a craftsmen would have to carve out a perfect tool out of a wooden block with no measurement tools of any type. If goods were being manufactured by hand they must have been good quality. Therefore, I'd have to say that Part 1 of the factory game was a form of a cottage industry. If before the industrial revolution, all the economies of the world were controlled by cottage industries, then prices would be high, and the demand would always exceed supply.
