She gave us 10 sec to see who the leader is. Then we had our leader and Anina gave them $2000 fake money to begin our game. We were trying to save and when we were it was kind of hard. At the end Anina see who got the most money out of us five group. number 1 had $1000 left and number 2 had $500 left, my team had $1000 that would be number 3, number 4 had $500 and number 5 had $100, so number 3 and 1 won the game.
