Business Battle takes inspiration from Monopoly, Risk and Battleship

Pupils in Powys are being told to use a Monopoly-style game to learn business skills.

It teaches the principles of manufacturing a product, releasing it into a crowded market and maintaining interest and profit with marketing.

Powys' trading standards is encouraging secondary schools to use it.
