The game allows students to experience the finiteness of a renewable raw material in the event of overuse. They take on the role of three foresters, who in the first round, compete with each other and try to harvest as many trees as possible for themselves. In a second round, the students cooperate with each other and manage the forest together. The game shows them that excessive timber removal endangers the existence of the forest and that sustainable management under competitive conditions is difficult.
