UNION STOCKYARDS GAME
From the Civil War through the 1920 ’ s , more meat was processed in Chicago ’ s Union Stockyards than anywhere in the world . During its height , 40,000 workers , mostly immigrants , labored in “ the busiest square mile on earth ”, where over one million livestock passed monthly , supplying 80 % of all U . S . meat . There were over 2,300 livestock pens and 130 miles of railroad within the “ yards ”. You play one the “ Big Five ” meat packers , developing technologies to use every part of the animal while battling labor unions and adjusting to historical events . The livestock cost is the same for all players , but your meat values will differ due to your decisions of constructing buildings , establishing branch houses , and improving brand reputation . At the end of each year , livestock costs ( cattle , hogs , sheep ) will be adjusted up or down depending on the demand that you created . Sometimes you may choose to slaughter certain livestock just to manipulate the market in your favor . Whichever packer accumulates the most wealth wins the game .
