The paper begins by discussing some of the problems involved in presenting economics to managers who already have considerable work experience, and it gives reasons why the use of games may reduce these problems. It then reviews many of the games which are available indicating their key features and the areas of economics education in which they might be useful. Finally, it considers some of the techniques of evaluation which have been applied to games and shows that, even though games are in widespread use and are generally considered useful, formal proof of their worth is surprisingly elusive.
