Your generous support allowed my students to explore monopolies during the Gilded Age through the Monopoly Deal card game, turning a complex economic concept into a hands-on, engaging experience. Because of your gift, students handled real game mechanics, debated strategy, and connected the rules and outcomes to historical examples of large trusts and market control. The students were thrilled and deeply engaged. They laughed, collaborated, and made meaningful connections between gameplay and history — linking game strategies to the behaviors of industrialists and discussing the social impacts of concentrated power.
