The game is fun. It is also surprisingly relaxing and time can go by swiftly while playing it. I hope the Dev continues to add more features to it.

Beat the Fed is a really unique game which works really hard to demonstrate the way in which the federal reserve works in a fun and intuitive way, all without making the information overwhelming to those unfamiliar with the core concepts. It keeps things relatively simple while also providing greater elaboration for those who seek it out using in game tools. The game play itself is also just plain fun, and I personally love working to balance the nation's interests with the point incentives given by missions. All in all, Beat the Fed is a really fun game and I highly recommend it for anyone who is at all interested in Macroeconomics, the Federal Reserve, historical financial events, or even just someone wanting to have fun playing at becoming a financial god of sorts.

This game is great! I love sim games but they often lack in the economics mechanics. This game has potential to fill that role. Lots of key economics concepts are covered in this game. I would even say this is a good teaching/learning tool for those who want to brush up on monetary policy. I'm looking forward to more scenarios and modes. Great job!

Best on the market, so many options that slowly get revealed, sound economic background, wish to see the model. Achievements are kinda broken. Hope to see more episodes, especially 2020's and 1970's
