The Rich Dad CompanyEducation Board Game

I've not played the adult version of Cashflow so can't make a comparison but this game does a good job of teaching a basic tenet from the Rich Dad series: amass sources of passive income! I bought this to play with my six year old because he's very interested in money and investing. I thought this might be a good introduction to some basic concepts - and I believe it is a good introduction. The instructions are not great, good enough but not great. The instructions describe that you become a winner when your passive income exceeds your expenses - but there isn't really a winner of the game. Small nuance but each individual "wins" by having passive income exceed expenses but the instructions don't state the first one to get there wins.Each player gets a "financial statement" as their game card. During play, each player gains passive income sources and expenses. The players keep track of their passive income vs expenses on the financial statement. When your passive income exceeds expenses... you win! The game does a good job of reinforcing this concept and also does a good job providing examples of passive income sources (rental property, owning a business, etc.). It's at a pretty basic level so understandable for kids; even my six year old understands the game well enough to be able to formulate a strategy or predict what he needs on the next turn in order to win.Would recommend as a basic concept teaching tool. And it's a fun game, too!

It's a great game. It only takes about 20-35 min. to play with 2-3 people. It teaches great financial principles in an effortless way. My 6yo son now groans when he has to put things on his credit card and cheers when he gets to buy a rental property. Also, unlike Monopoly (which I love), the goal is not to bankrupt other players but instead to build your own passive income so it outpaces your expenses. Teaches key concepts like assets, liabilities, cash flow, passive income, buying on credit vs paying cash, etc. Most of the "deals" (if you know the adult version of the game) are good but some are less attractive and my son is better able to differentiate between really good deals (that he jumps on) and not so good deals that he may pass on if he is in a position to do so. It's fun for adults too. I love it, so does mom, grandma, etc. I recommend without hesitation.

If you have ever played the original, this is pretty much the same thing. It’s a simplified version of the “rat race” in the original.You start by having expenses and a salary. Come payday, you get paid the difference plus any cash from assets you have acquired. You win when your cash flow exceeds your expenses.I have played the original version for years now. This is a great simplified version that allows you to teach the concepts to your kiddos. I am pleased with its purchase.I love the creative atmosphere this type of game creates.

We gifted this to dad for his birthday, as the adult version of this game is crazy expensive (this one is, too! $40 for a board game? WHY?)Anyhow, the kids like it. My husband loves it. He says it's teaching them about money, and is fun to play like Monopoly - only maybe better, because it's a little faster paced and there is more real decision making.When I win the lottery, I'll buy him the adult version - but considering the fact that our sons are the ones who sit to play games with him, perhaps it was better to buy the kid version for the time being.

Love this game! My kids love it & it is so much easier to talk about finance principles & consequences while we are playing. The kids comic book "Escape the rat race" was the perfect intro to the concepts before we played. I actually paid my kids to read the comic & because it was a fast, easy read, they read it that day. Since then, we have played the game and talked about balancing apportunities, responsibilities, & risk each time. Thank you for making a version of "Cashflow" & "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" for my children to be mentally aware to prepare to leave the nest with assets before they ever have any liabilities!
