Humanities/AcaDeca Survivor Scenario #2

Humanities/AcaDeca Survivor Game

Scenario #2: Building a brave new world…

While the ship is being equipped with the additional technology you chose during the last scenario, you now need to turn your attention to what you’ll need after landing on Zycron. The ship will contain supplies for the voyage to Zycron, but you will need to choose supplies and equipment to take with you for your settlement on the new planet. There is a weight limit in terms of what can be brought onto the ship. You may choose from the lists below, but your total list may not exceed 30 tons (60,000 pounds).

*Note: Where different supply amounts are given, you can choose one supply amount or both/all depending on the needs of your team.

Make your decisions as a WHOLE team. You will be asked to justify your choices, so take notes, add up your choices, and be ready to present (consider your roles about who should do this).
