Joel Harden's Mogul: Real Estate Finance Management Game

This game is Monopoly on steroids. Takes more strategy, goes into more "realistic" detail about investing in real estate, and can take as much time as you want to play. A lot of fun and quite a deal for the price.

This game is heavily tilted toward investment property managements, but investments costs are so high that purchases do not kick in until much later in game. Not much happening until that time. Fairly boring game.How is calculating the amortization schedule of 30 year loan at 7% fun?

A few thing I would change when being able to keep track of things differently... but I love this game. I just bought it and it's like monopoly x10... it you enjoy games that actually make you think this is the game for you. First time playing it we played for 12 hours and did not want to stop. The rule book is really big and takes alot toget going but once you learn it is alot faster!

excellent

It takes so long to figure out how to play the game that by the time you do you realize that it's been too long to actually return it. Enough said.

This game is a combination of Life and Monopoly with a little more strategy.The book is 20pgs, but once you finish it you could explain the game in 5 min. Basically what happens is you buy a car, house, get married (w or w/o prenup), have kids (all like Life), and then you buy rental properties (Like Monopoly). The twist is this... You can see the price of the property, but there is a space you land on called "Due Diligence" this allows you to see what the property is selling for and if there are any upfront repair cost that must be paid. You do not share this information with anyone!For example; Property listed at $300,000, but the city is selling it at auction (Bidding starts at 50% and the catch for this property is that it needs a 90k upgrade before you can buy it) Well, at auction you only know the upfit cost (if any) if you landed on "Due Diligence."A blast to play for sure and some real strategy if you want to win!
