Pandemic: Real Life Audition – Budget Distribution


FIGURE (1)



Mission: win the game by curing all 4 diseases. This time; includes real life situation by using a budget which limit times of actions and the variety of choices. The total of the budget is 950,000 QR.
The pie chart will keep on decreasing as money is being used up during the mission
Firstly, the first money draw that I would do is the hiring of 4 specialists for the mission who are scientist, researcher, medic, and dispatcher. Thus, 285,000 is already gone from a total of 950,000 QR (FIGURE2). Leaving us with 665,000.

 Then, curing all 4 diseases – most costly -  will require a total of 100,000 for each of the 4. Leaving us with 265,000 out of 665,000 that we are meant to start with after hiring. To start the game: (Figure 3) now shows all the actions that we can conduct during the game and which costs the most. It is obvious that curing a disease will be the most expensive.  Since drawing the cards and cities is a matter of luck, this will be the end of my financial planning.
