Rich Dad CASHFLOW Board Game, Educational Business & Finance Literacy Game, Ages 14 & Up - Financial Learning Games for Kids, Teens, Adults and Family

Trying to empower my son with a gift I was never given (and had to learn the hard way) ~ financial literacy 🤌🏼✨. One of the tools I discovered is this awesome board game. Highly recommend it to any board game loving families. Says for ages 14+, but my kiddo is 9 and reallllly into it, asks to play it every chance he gets. Great intro to stocks, real estate investing, gold, mutual funds, CDs, small businesses, good & bad debt, taxes, spending / budgeting, and bookkeeping (I swear I have no affiliation whatsoever with this game or its makers... just a genuine fan)! At the beginning of the game you randomly draw a profession card that lays out your salary and base cash flow (includes car payment, primary home mortgage, student loans, credit card payment, etc...) Everything else is from opportunities and decisions made during game play. It may sound "dry"... but it's seriously fun, well designed, and real life educational. A+++

Let me start by saying I rarely leave reviews, nevertheless a first review but this game is so so so unbelievable. Used with the cashflow mobile app, this game is life changing. I've read several of his books, yet, learning through concept vs innate strategy is a different ball game. Having opened the box after a family dinner ( bought it for myself and my brother ) it was so well designed and fun, everyone decided to play. Interesting to see how the game reflects reality in someways. Habits and purchasing tendencies ( and dare I say money fears ) after a few rounds became clear in the choices of each player. I found it fascinating to watch one person go from gambler to emotionally stuck due to frivolous purchases and start to make riskier emotionally driven moves as he fell behind. Behavior changes reflected his bank account, which was a total shock to all. 2 of us are big fans of law of attraction and abundance excercises. He's never been a believer, but the numbers and body language was clearly in need of help, there was no denying it. So we ran an experiment. 5 rounds we cheered him until he laughed and THEN made the choice to roll. The results. The more he had fun, the less emotional value he gave to money, the more his brain could make choices from a place of "it's coming now," vs " I don't have". Eventually hitting it big on a stock sale, he actually danced. After that sale, it was like a business mogul was unleashed. Moves became smarter and mistakes learned. Family members who we thought would win didn't ( total shock as they are great in business in real life ) and those whom we thought would lose, won. It made us all realize that our financial intelligence (and emotional attachments to money) needed a tune up. So much so we've decided that game nights are in order and will be buying the 202 version after mastering this one. The product itself is top notch quality and came in 2 days even though we selected free ground shipping. In conjunction with the app, its a much more favorable experience than doing all the math by hand. Allowing us to focus on strategy first. I'm a designer and attention to user interface, legibility, easy learning curve are important. The quality and organization of the game is very good. The box itself is not as big as I thought, but after unfolding, the game goard extends quite large. Can't compare to the classic as I've never seen one in person. As a first time user, the layout was simple, great color printing, durable paper stock and the dice & mice materials are of solid quality. The guidebook is fairy easy to use and navigate. There were a few questions that were not in the game rules and in a way had to create our own interpretation or fall into the answers during play. Such as how do you sell gold? Does one have to put back cards after property purchase or keep them like monopoly? These are more during the learning curve phase. The first time, it took us about 4+ hours to play with 4 people. Turns, learning rules and making decisions do take time. It was so much fun, can't wait to get more family members involved. Everyone is reconsidering their finances and some have already looked into more business opportunities and debt consolidation to get out of the rate race. Needless to say thank you for this game. I can only hope 202 carries these same standards and results. ( and app, love the app hope 202 gets developed soon ) If you want to learn to change financial habits and/or pin point where growth should happen in your life, get this game, now.

Good presentation, quality cards, a very easy and simple game to understand and a great help for financial education.

This super fun and educational board game allows us to spend quality time with family and loved ones while teaching us about the money game we experience in everyday life. It’s a great way to enjoy meaningful moments together — I would definitely buy it again.

Great game with a valuable lesson if you are willing to learn. If not willing to learn, keep grinding out life and losing time.

Played it with my wife and adult children and everyone loved it. Our first game took about 4 hours because we had to learn how to play, but nearing the end of the game we got much faster at the rounds and didn't always wait for the last player to finish all calculations before continuing on. I think 3 hours is probably about right for a game, 2 if your players are experienced and don't get stuck in the rat race like we did for a long time. While I don't agree with all of the money concepts that seem to be taught in the game, it does make you start thinking about money management in a different way. I hesitated to spend this much money on a board game, but really it's worth every penny. My son-in-law repeatedly stated how interesting it was and you could see the gears turning in his head thinking about his own real-life finances. My criticisms would stem from the fact that buying small houses appeared to be the worst way to work up to big deals. Investing in stocks was the only real way to make enough cash to do a big deal. Cashing out of a 2br 1ba home was something that we didn't even get a card to do until half the players were already out of the rat race - meaning the rest of us who'd gone that route were stuck for a long time without enough cash to do a big deal. None of us traded in gold coins, but that looks like something we might try next game now that we have a feel for the value. Don't expect this game to teach you detailed steps of "getting out of the rat race," but it will definitely teach you how to view your money and think twice about buying a new TV or jet ski. :-)

This is a really fun game. I think it tries to teach people how to change their mindset and although saving is important, investing in the market or properties is more important. It does teach you how to make your money grow for you. And also helps you take a look at your current life and what things you could do differently. Basically it teaches finances and a fun and friendly way. It's easy to set up. It does take a little bit to get to know the rules. You can play it for a long time.

Great game! Really fun to play with friends or family and you even learn more along the way! I got this after reading rich dad poor dad and it was fun figuring out the best way to get out of the “rat race”.
