You then turn over your balance sheet and move into the fast lane. When this happens you move from the inner circle of the game to the larger outer circle. This means you become financial independent and you are out of the rat race. The objective of the game is to increase your passive income ie) income without working from your investments. This allows you to increase your payday amount. Like in real life, when financially able you can also reduce your debts by paying them back to the bank. The game creates twists and turns, deals come up in either individual stocks or residential options with some options for technology start-ups and occasionally an empty plot of land. These cards are not good news and they will cost you money. If you land on this, you draw a card from the “DOODAD” pile.
For example, a MARKET card may say “A buyer wants to buy your apartment building for £x. These cards have events on it that may affect your investments. If you land on this, you draw a card from the “MARKET” pile. If you land on opportunity you draw a card from the “DEAL” pile, in which you are presented with an opportunity to buy an investment. You have to analyse the financials of the deal to decide whether you want it or whether you want to pass. You take your jobs income, minus off your expenses and you receive the amount of cash equal to the difference. On the board is a ring labelled “Rat Race”, where everyone starts off and the players go round and round in circles and you land on a number of different types of tiles. It is easy to get excited about getting a high income such as doctor but when you read how much debt with some careers it is easy to be brought back down to earth. This is how the game works: everyone gets assigned a career, like secretary, doctor, engineer, etc… That determines your starting income, but it can also come along with debt. Everyone reaches for their trusty phone and start up the calculator app for the competition and excitement that will follow.
I find, every time it is unpacked and balance sheets distributed the excitement with everyone, new and experienced, builds.
#Cashflow board game free
It is free to join, you just need to advise in advance that you are coming to secure your game place. Homesale Homelet run a monthly/bimonthly cashflow game, usually in the Chester Abode Hotel ground floor bar. So far, I am still learning and don’t seem to tire of it. It is played all over the world with regular events in Robert’s home of Hawaii, New York, London, Paris and now Chester! Why not rise to the challenge to “Get Out of the Rat Race”? I personally am a huge fan of this game and have been playing it intermittently for just over 20 years. Author: Lisa Curran Published on: Published in: Investing
