Games vs history: tech trees, barbarians, empty lands, wonders and falls, sentence 3

Games are still good teachers of some things: maps and geography, trade-offs, cause and effect, and the habit of thinking «what would happen if»; Europa Universalis even ends in 1821 with no win button, a bit like real history, which has no finish line at all.

Who acts: Games, habit, Europa, real history · What happens: be, think, happen, end, have · To what, where: good teachers, 1821, finish line, all · Speech: someone speaks here
