I played "Settlers of Catan" as well and I like the idea of cashing in resources. But I think it would be cool to set up "ports" or "markets" or something during the world sim. You would be able to take your resources to the market and then trade them in at stable prices. Or if we did use the corporate sim we could always make them the "market"

> CASHING IN RESOURCES:
> Another thing was that in the game if you had 4 cards of any resource, you had the option of trading them in for 1 card of another resource (cashing them in to the dealer/"god", not another player). So, I could trade my 4 cards of grain for 1 card of ore. In our World Simulation, maybe we can trade a certain amount of resources for Hard Power cards? Or vice versa?
