I am trying to get information about a class exercise I did when I took and introductory Sociology class as an undergrad. Each member of the class is given a stack of poker chips of different colors each with a different point. You then have to find another member of the class and hold hands with them as you negotiate trading chips with them. You must hold hands until you reach an agreement and if you fail to reach an agreement you can trade chips of the same color to conclude the transaction. The exercise was meant to illustrate the social structure of society as some students had higher value chips than other. That's all I remember about it. Does anyone know what this game is called and where I can get a description of it.

Thanks
Jim
