CASHFLOW
This inventive board game by Robert Kiyosaki , a successful entrepreneur and business lecturer, was built around his own views on success in business, and he did it so successfully that even if you don't necessarily subscribe to his point of view you still end up being partially converted after a few runs. True, the first few spins on "how money works" will probably awaken the deep and long-supressed frustration about not achieving success and financial stability before 40 (or 30) and the remorse about taking up Humanities instead of Maths and Accountancy, but then you start having fun and learning about cashflow and assets and liabilities, about the fact that a bigger car or house you buy is not necessarily an asset, and that being a good employee climbing the corporate ladder isn't going to make you rich in the long run. Absolutely hated it when I first tried it. Only after reading Robert's book entitled "Rich Dad Poor Dad" did I give the game a second chance, Everything Robert wholeheartedly believes in is perfectly integrated into this game. The "rat race" track of losers/employees and the "fast lane" of intelligent people/ business owners, the situations that force you to recognise assets and liabilities, dealing with taxes and financial problems , saving money, opening and managing accounts etc. The video game version just transfers the perfect playing experience from the board to the screen.
A true business simulation classic if there ever was one.
