Twins story

The story of twins who are born when daylight savings time ends. The first is born at 1:50. The second is born 20 minutes later... consequently, the clocks ae set back ans, legally speaking, he is born at 1:10. This is never known to the family, and they shower all kinds of blessing on the one born at 1:20. He becomes the more arrogant, priveledged child, while the other brother is treated as less special, and he grows up modest and kind. Eventually, their father dies, leaving the majority of a great fortune and his business to his first-born son. The "oldest" has debased and diabolical ambitions for the business and his wealth. Before the will is read, a reporter is doing a story on the family, interviewing people, etc., and everyone says the oldest was born 20 minutes later. She becomes friends with the youngest son, and due to her punctilious nature and fact-checking, she discovers a discrepancy that she cannot rectify. The birth records show them born 40 minutes apart. The mother swears that it was 20 minutes, though. One day, while at church, the pastor makes a joke, "It was nice to see so many people show up to morning vespors today. Then I realized the church wasn't full of loyal patrons but lots of FORGETFUL patrons that neglected to set their clocks back last night." The reporter realizes what happened. The will is being read that afernoon. She flies out of the isle, making a clumsy, loud commotion. Everyone watches her. In the isle she smiles, crosses herself, says "thank you" with alacrity, and leaves. She checks the hospital records and realizes their birthday was on the day daylight savings time ended. Their is a report that says the one born first had a distinguishing birthmark. She runs to the will reading and makes it just in time. She spills the evidence and the fortune goes to the rightful son.

"I Have I Need" Game

A game based on having some kind of resource and needing another kind of resource (like the trading phase in Settlers of Catan).

It's more free-market than that and more of a barter system. Things come into demand at random (based on die rolls or cards) and allow for building a business or city or empire or something. then, building costs change, etc. And you do things like R&D that allow for improved upgrades, adding bonus for employees, which leads to happy workers and no riots, etc.
