I absolutely love your site.  My 8th grade social studies classes were completely into the eLections game through Oct. and Nov., and several students have now started playing 3rd World Farmer.  I have started giving out you web site to all my classes and get back favorable comments on different games that are tried along with concepts learned.  Thanks so much for providing this valuable tool for teachers.
