The year is 1979. In the aftermath of the Vietnam War, thousands of refugees fled Vietnam. Refugees fled for a number of reasons: economic hardship or persecution by the new Viet Cong government. You are one of these refugees. Because the Viet Cong troops guarding the border, you must flee by boat. You must make tough decisions along the way in order to escape safely.
<button >[[Start ->Proceed to Choosing Role]]</button >You must choose which character you will play as. You can either be a vietnamese Male, Female, or Child.
Male and Female are similar except for one key difference: As a Female, if your boat is attacked by pirates, you will be kidnapped. If you choose a child, you will have less health. Note that health is your ability to withstand hunger and illnesses.
Additionally, you may choose to be given a randomized role. These roles are based on refugee stories and their motivations for leaving Vietnam. You will have varying health, gold, or other attributes for each role. This roles reflects that not all refugees' experience are the same.

Your family is currently struggling and decided to leave Vietnam. You have sold off all your belongings for the trip and accumulated <b>$gold gold</b>. Because of the war, you will mainly be trading with gold bars. You must decide what to purchase. You need food to survive the boat trip. You start out with no food. General items will help you survive the trip. Finally, keep in mind that you will need gold to purchase a boat ride for you and your family.
You have two days to prepare. You know two people you can trade with. These people are friends with Viet Cong, and therefore, have extra items to trade. However, these people are far apart from each other. There is only enough time in the day to visit one of these folks. One person trades food and another trade general items.

Our team set out to create an educational experience for everyone stuck at home, as COVID-19 has disrupted many of the traditional learning opportunities. When we look around for inspiration, we saw our family history. Our families’ stories are some of the many Vietnamese refugee stories after the Vietnam war. We want to honor our families and other refugees through this simulation.
The refugee experience is one of danger, hunger, and tough decisions. We wanted to get these experience across through the mechanics. There are many randomized events and limited resources. The luck involve and harshness of these events are meant for the player to experience the difficulties faced by refugees.
Lastly, if you would like to contact us for feedback and comments, please email <b>wqbao@ucdavis.edu.</b>

Read the following carefully.
You must pay boat owners in order for them to ferry you out of Vietnam. These boat owners know how desperate refugees are and will charge accordingly. There are many boat owners. If you wait, you may get a better deal. <b>However, every day, the Viet Cong government will ramp down their efforts to keep people from leaving the country and imprison people attempting to leave</b> If you wait too long, it’ll no longer be possible to leave. Furthermore, the boat owner may take your money and leave without taking you or your family. Lastly, you have the option to go on a flimsy boat for no gold. Flimsy boat does not cost gold, but you will have a higher chance of being sunk by storms. This is because these boats are poorly built and packed with more people.
Each day, you will check the docks for boat owners. You will decide whether to pay the boat owners to board, go on a flimsy boat, or wait for the next day.
Today, you find a boat owner who charges you <b>$boat_rate gold</b> . You have <b>$gold gold</b>. You choose:
