Rich Dad Cashflow Board Game

[Lisa V.]

I'm reading Why the Rich Are Getting Richer by Robert Kiyosaki and he mentions a board game he created over 20 years ago called Cashflow. I'm wondering if anyone here has played it and if it is recommended. The price on Amazon is rather steep, $80, and I'm wondering if it is worth it. I also see on the Rich Dad site that he has a free online version; haven't had a chance to check that out yet.

I found it to be a great learning experience on so many levels! Not only does the game make learning fun and challenging, but you learn so much from something so simple. Building a real estate portfolio is a lot of fun, but there are many things I hadn’t even considered. One of the biggest things I learned from playing is that you can have a huge cash flowing machine, but if you are stretched too thin you can lose everything in the blink of an eye. I have thankfully been able to quickly build my portfolio, but simple things I have learned from playing this “game” have helped me keep from making mistakes that could have cost me plenty of time and money. Also, I think it is a great way to teach your children how to invest and make it fun. I most definitely will be playing with them when they get a little older!
