Cashflow 101 game

[Xu Som]

Hello BP,

I've been testing out the game and there are some questions I would like to know since the instructions weren't that specific.  If anyone knows or have any tips please do share as I would like to know as much as I can before I play with some friends.  

1.  Can we borrow the whole down payment loan or partial loan to pay for a down payment from the bank?

2.  I've heard of individuals playing and finishing the rat race in a couple rounds.  I may not have the most open imagination, but how is that done? I'm thinking that you'll have to borrow loans from the bank to work on deals right away to produce cash flow?

3.  Are there any additional tips when playing the game?  Any advise will be greatly appreciated as I would like to teach my friends on how to play it also.

Thanks.

If I remember:

1. Whole thing

2. There are different cards with different versions, I could tell you how to do it but that would spoil and defeat purpose of the game. But I will tell you certain market cards drawn at the right time can get you out quick. However, in real life it would be very rare.

3. The value of the game is education. Talk about why everyone does what they do in the game. Many times the decisions a person makes in the game are a reflection of how they think in real life. If they are still in rat race in real life, the game can open a whole new way of thinking. I have found that most people don't have fun playing a near life game. It works best when the players are serious about changing their life so pick the right players.
