Gamification in HS government and Econ

I got the chance to go into Mike Franz’s high school gov & econ class when they were playing YOLO, a year-long game where one week of school represents one year of life. The first week of the game the students are 18 years old, the last week of the game they are near retirement age. What will they make of their society, of their economy, of their investments, of their world?

This sounds pretty awesome! I want to take a class like this.
