First off, yes it does do that (in a very simplified manner). This is a game about investing and increasing your financial intelligence, so let’s look at that.

So, if you are looking for a game to learn about investing, this is a good thing, if you are looking for a game with layers and lots of strategy, this is not for you. The game mechanics are also fairly simple. The quality of the board and the pieces isn’t up to the new spoiled standard I have now, as it feels more like the games played in the 80s/90s (in its defense, it was made in 1996). It was a really fun take on an old game about investing. I jumped in to quickly find out that it wasn’t like monopoly at all, but you could still buy properties. To be fair, I will use those initial first impressions and say that it was super exciting to play something new and to get to prove my smarts in both the investing world and board game world at the same time… Who am I kidding, I would still get excited to do that… So, because of that, my first impressions back then would be a lot different than if I played it for the first time today. It was dubbed as “Monopoly on steroids”, and I enjoyed steroids Monopoly as a kid.Īt the time of playing Cashflow, this was my first new board game since playing games like Sorry and Life as a young lad. I was excited to try this game because of all the hype at the time. I had heard about this game from reading the book Rich Dad Poor Dad when I was younger. The new version is very similar, but it introduces new playing cards, professions, an updated game board, and a new income sheet.

Rewriting your financial statements is too time consumingĪ quick disclaimer that this review is based off the old version of the game.

Cheap pieces especially for expensive price.
