CASHFLOW - Rich Dad Investing Board Game by Robert Kiyosaki - Newest Original Edition of CASHFLOW 101

Since the Monopoly was introduced for all over the world, there never have been this kind of important simulation game. As US Military Academy has mandatory study of Chess (Chathrata, originally Vedic India invented this war-game for mind)., this game, or simulation game need to be mandatory for schools to teach children how to manage finance. It is unfortunate fact, universities ( we have played this game. All of players have university or post graduate degrees) never tech actual finance. Learning theoretical economics is different from actual life economy, which is the market called society. This game comes with the large plate which is folded, and deal cards, profession cards, expense cards, and ledgers or accounting sheets to simulate real world situation. The choice of professions and expenses, etc are applicable in general for all western and eastern countries where european civil/common laws are adopted. There are lovely 6 mini-mouse style players (where Monopoly had cars) and two dices. They are made of wood. For game, the price is expensive. But in reality this is not a game for killing time. This is a game, like chess, to stimulate and analyse the action-reaction of real society and its players (humans). As many people who played this game can testify, this is not a game that one gets tired of. For the scenario, or variation of producing cash flow, or wealth producing formulae via deals are plenty, just like real life. The genius of Robert Kiyosaki and his darling wife Kim Kiyosaki is, the board looks so simple but the effect of playing this game after several times is quite obvious. None of us have business background, but our minds started to act more like business persons who are actively wheeling and dealing in day to day world. The more we play, the more our mind become active in imagination as to how an enterprise can be conceived and operated. This is a wonderful gift for holiday seasons, and suitable for all ethnic, religious background as this is very fun, inclusive (concept of charity as well) teaching players that all labours are valuable and can make you wealthy, if planned and executed properly. Why not sit down with your children, or with your friends, or with loved ones, or even with neighbour and with warm drink and snacks, spend winter seasons to stimulate your financial skill (which all of us have, if awakened). One important thing is, before using the accounting sheets ( which are Income Statements and the Cash Ledger), make sure you make many copies, and keep the original not used. Because this can be used hundreds of times until the financial principles that this game is sink into your mind. Great board game, much more loving and holistic than Monopoly. For children, this is the best gift to stack in your holiday gift socks. Happy holidays for all of you!

Very good game for the whole family. Definitely worth then money and good to teach kids and adults quality some financial literacy

Great game , learn how to budget and invest your money

Bought for my son this Christmas and played it with the family over 3 nights. We couldn’t wait to continue our play. My 15 year old played too and the game has made us all think about how to get out the rat race. Great board game educational and lots of laughs along the way.

It is a lovely game and quite engaging. Unfortunately, the game board is not made to last as just opening and folding today (first day of use) it has a tear on the fold. For such a good game it would be lovely to have a better quality board not poorly glued paper.

Good game for learning the basics of assets vs liabilities and cashflow etc. Its also fun and my wife has surprised me by being very competitive. One issue is that the game is split into two parts, the rat race and big time (cant remember if thats the title), but the rat race is great but once out of the rat race it gets a bit boring as theres no real challenge... u just cant fail or go bankrupt.

I played this over the weekend with my 8 and 12 year old children who were hooked on it so much that the 8 year old asked to play it again and the 12 year old was really excited about it, even left the laptop to come and play. If you have a 12 year old you know how big a thing that is. Getting into the return on investment idea, paying off loans to reduce your monthly liabilities, the hit that buying "immediate gratification" type purchases make on your long term wealth is so much easier in this game, it makes it so more real than just talking about it. Pity my son beat me both times, by a huge margin, but then he did buy OK4U at $5, go through a stock split, sell at $40 and then do it almost straight after with GRO4US. Not fair, 100x gain when I had to spend $7500 on something useless. Great game, and if your good at explaining stuff as you're playing the game even an eight year old can grasp it.

I bought this game for me and my two children age 11 and 13 (the advisory age is 14 but I decided to spend a lot of time explaining the game and would take a lot of time on each turn explain what terms meant). I wanted to educated them about avoiding the rat race and to learn the importance of assets and passive income. I bought it for reasons to increase their financial intelligence but Ive never had so much fun with my children and learnt so much about them and myself. After the first day the children have chosen to play the game for 2.5hrs every evening (and my children would stay glued to their computer if they could). It was hilarious that I started as a janitor in the game but got out the rat race first. My daughter was allocated the job of a business manager and she was so proud at the beginning - then as the game drew on she kept saying my expenses are killing me! My son was amazing as he understood the game immediately, how to sport a deal and buy deals off players. Ive never had so much fun and we are all looking at our financial situation in real life in a really positive way. It been amazing noticing the traits the children already have and attitudes to money and how quickly they picked up terms, concepts and how to spot a deal. I feel I understand my children more than I ever have before as we were playing out life on a board game and we all discussed and advised each other on life situations and attitudes to life and money. It got to a point where we are all helping each other get out of the rat race but we were still savvy with our money - however when we entered the big game we all got back to competing. It strange when I entered the big game all I wanted to do was help my children get out of the rat race - which I guess is why I bought the game. Invest in this game it will pay dividends.
