I'm Fascinated by Management-Games

Tweet

You know, those 'city-management games' (where you build houses and factories to produce materials & make money) like Sim City or Farmville or ... the one I'm mostly playing now is Elvenar. And I also like the 'team-management games' (where you recruit/build-up/train your team-members and send them on missions/quests), like ... I can't think of any names right now, but my first was a GAMEBOY-version of Final Fantasy (that I spent HOURS training & questing & interviewing Non-Player Characters ... I think games-like-that are called RPGs). I think my fascination starts with my father, who was a "manager" all my life (oh, I think his main profession was Accounting--extending into Law--but (when he wasn't 'a returning University-student') he'd always tell me & my siblings his job was 'manager.') Managing ... I think that's also the purpose of the State School-Board (I think of this because my cousin-in-law on the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs---they published an article about how the Oklahoma State School Board Association somehow forced the sports-teachers to allow physically-male trans students into the girls' sports; and my cousin-in-law asked, "Why do they even HAVE a school-board?" I think it's the same reason(s) we have 'only one brain' (rather than 'a brain-lette positioned on every muscle in the body')---mainly for uniformity-in-mission. I suppose these management-games are encouraged for 'all of us non-managers' so that we have sympathy for what the real managers have to worry about---salaries, productivity, bonuses, employees' job-satisfaction, bill-payment, franchise-fees, etc. Maybe that's why so many of us think of Our Heavenly Father as 'The Manager'---we 'imagine' (believers say "know" ... I say, 'Yeah, just like kids "know" Santa Clause is watching') that He "sends" us health, comfort & "Our Daily Bread"; etc. What games do you recommend to boost 'children's' management-minds (or--of course--our own, when we have spare time and don't want our minds to get too lethargic)?
