If anyone knows how to play Risk, the deployment phase should end in five minutes with some obviously doomed troops in Australia.
If you don’t know of a good example of such a game, odds are that any game you find will not be known by students either. Why not create a game designed to have sunk costs and be easy to learn?
Some ways to modify existing games to introduce sunk costs:
1) Have rounds of betting with the options of calling, raising and folding, as in poker.
2) Make withdrawing from a game for the return of some money an option/require paying a fee to stay in a game.
3) With 2) above, allow the purchase of information in a game.
The first would be a good modification of the card game War played for money/chips, the second would be a good modification of bingo or blackjack, the third would be a good modification for blackjack.
