Wisdom Behind The Oregon Trail

When playing the game “Oregon Trail” I was having a hard time deciding which role I wanted to play, so I picked the “find out the difference” option and read about the role descriptions.

Oregon Trail – role descriptions

From that time on, I was dragging into the character that I picked. I was thinking in that position, actually calculating for myself when I needed to buy food and weapons.

When calculating the things that I need

I believe this is the magical part of the RPG game. The first person perspective really put the players into the game setting. Also, the possibility of getting shot is different every time; it makes it more realistic (like 2020 people experiencing VR).
From playing, I learned that planning ahead is essential; don’t give up when you are not 100% dead; you will get to what you want once you keep it up. These important takeaways make it not only a game; it actually has great wisdom behind it.
