Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me start by saying I rarely leave reviews, nevertheless a first review but this game is so so so unbelievable. Used with the cashflow mobile app, this game is life changing. I've read several of his books, yet, learning through concept vs innate strategy is a different ball game. Having opened the box after a family dinner ( bought it for myself and my brother ) it was so well designed and fun, everyone decided to play. Interesting to see how the game reflects reality in someways. Habits and purchasing tendencies ( and dare I say money fears ) after a few rounds became clear in the choices of each player. I found it fascinating to watch one person go from gambler to emotionally stuck due to frivolous purchases and start to make riskier emotionally driven moves as he fell behind. Behavior changes reflected his bank account, which was a total shock to all. 2 of us are big fans of law of attraction and abundance excercises. He's never been a believer, but the numbers and body language was clearly in need of help, there was no denying it. So we ran an experiment. 5 rounds we cheered him until he laughed and THEN made the choice to roll. The results. The more he had fun, the less emotional value he gave to money, the more his brain could make choices from a place of "it's coming now," vs " I don't have". Eventually hitting it big on a stock sale, he actually danced. After that sale, it was like a business mogul was unleashed. Moves became smarter and mistakes learned. Family members who we thought would win didn't ( total shock as they are great in business in real life ) and those whom we thought would lose, won. It made us all realize that our financial intelligence (and emotional attachments to money) needed a tune up. So much so we've decided that game nights are in order and will be buying the 202 version after mastering this one. The product itself is top notch quality and came in 2 days even though we selected free ground shipping. In conjunction with the app, its a much more favorable experience than doing all the math by hand. Allowing us to focus on strategy first. I'm a designer and attention to user interface, legibility, easy learning curve are important. The quality and organization of the game is very good. The box itself is not as big as I thought, but after unfolding, the game goard extends quite large. Can't compare to the classic as I've never seen one in person. As a first time user, the layout was simple, great color printing, durable paper stock and the dice & mice materials are of solid quality. The guidebook is fairy easy to use and navigate. There were a few questions that were not in the game rules and in a way had to create our own interpretation or fall into the answers during play. Such as how do you sell gold? Does one have to put back cards after property purchase or keep them like monopoly? These are more during the learning curve phase. The first time, it took us about 4+ hours to play with 4 people. Turns, learning rules and making decisions do take time. It was so much fun, can't wait to get more family members involved. Everyone is reconsidering their finances and some have already looked into more business opportunities and debt consolidation to get out of the rate race. Needless to say thank you for this game. I can only hope 202 carries these same standards and results. ( and app, love the app hope 202 gets developed soon ) If you want to learn to change financial habits and/or pin point where growth should happen in your life, get this game, now.
