“Should we drill another well or not?” is a game designed to simulate the decision making process of a business when deciding whether or not to invest in additional resources. The objective of the game is to determine if it will be more profitable for the company to drill another well, thereby providing more access to resources, but also increasing costs associated with maintaining and operating these new wells.

The game begins by having players decide on the estimated cost of drilling a new well and its potential returns. For example, players might choose an initial investment of $100,000 with expected profits of $200,000 over two years. After this has been established, players can then begin to consider other factors that would influence their decisions such as risk assessment and environmental impacts.
