• Cashflow 101 Board Game

The objective of Cashflow 101 E-game is to get out of the rat race and into the fast track to achieve your dream, that is, to achieve financial freedom. As a person who has never played the real Cashflow board game before, I find the digital/software version pretty interesting and quite addictive. At first impression, the e-game was amazing in graphics but needs more improvements in the background music and game options.

202 is a little better. But good all round learning tool!

Earlier this past week I was asked to evaluate the Electronic version of Rich Dad’s Cashflow 101 game. So, what I decided to do was play it a few dozen times, take some screen captures and post them here in this blog to get some other opinions on this terrific game. For those of you who are not familiar with Robert Kiyosaki and his famous book “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, “Cashlow Quadrant” and a handful of othershe has developed a board game called CASHFLOW. There is a Kids version of this game, as well as a pc version called Cashflow 101, and the more advanced pc version called Cashflow 202. Today I thought I would tell you a little bit about the game in general and then show you some screenshots. Essentially, the object of this game is to collect more passive income than you have as expenses.

Those who achieve this are raised to a state known as the “fast track”. So what is this game all about and how can it help me? The game starts off by assigning you a character and corresponding profession. You get to pick which Dream you would like to shoot for.

Dreams can be something like being able to heli ski the swiss alps, have dinner with the President, join the peace corps and conduct humanitarian missions, etc. But you need to earn enough to buy those dreams. Now, the fundamentals of the game are limited at best however they do do a good job in helping you decide what impact your cashflow will be if you buy a small deal or a big deal. Small deals are generally small homes, condos, stock market deals, etc. While big deals could be large 24 unit apartment complexes, 8 plex, 4 plex, duplex, car wash, beauty salon, trucking business, etc.

The fun part about playing this game especially the electronic version, is that you can have the computer generate 4 pc characters you can play against. Each character may be a firefighter, policeman, lawyer, web designer, doctor, etc. When the game begins it assigns a character to you and if they make you a lawyeryou will have to pay back school loans, credit card debt, retail debt, car loans, mortgages, etc. Again the whole idea is to get you out of the rat race and into living a comfortable life existing on enough passive income to do all of those things you have always wanted to do. This game does have it’s limitations, which I won’t bother addressing here however, it is truly a delight to play.

Cashflow 101 Board Game

I have only reviewed CASHFLOW 101 at this time but do expect to evaluate CASHFLOW 202 as well as the Kids version of the game. In closing, if you are interested in increasing your financial understandingthis may very well be a fun and exciting way to learn. This is the Main Menu when you start up the game. Next you select which profession you would like for your character to play as. This is the playfield. Here I am playing with 4 other computer generated players.

I just started the game so my passive income is $0. Ok, in this game I just made it out of the Rat Race by accumulating enough passive income. The next step is the Fast Track! In this game I accumulated just under $4 million dollars of cash on hand!

Ok, where’s my award??? I kicked butt and had a lot of fun in the process!!!

Download WinRar (free trial) 2. Download Daemon Tools (free for personal use) 3. Download this Game. You should see the icon for Daemon Tools in your system tray. Right-click on it.

Under “Virtual CD/DVD-ROM”, select “Set number of devices”. Set this number to three (3). Under Device 0, select “Mount Image”. You should get a window asking you to select the file you want to mount. On my computer, the folder for Cashflow was under Program FilesBit CometDownloads.

Select the first Cashflow file (101 the E-Game, 1 of 2). Under Device 1, do the same with the second file (101, 2 of 2). Then under Device 2, you would mount Cashflow 202. On Windows XP, when you select “My Computer”, you should see all three CDs under “Devices With Movable Storage”. On my computer the drives are labeled, F:, G: and H.

Okay, at this point I can’t remember if I double-clicked on the first CD, or if I opened WinRar and double-clicked on Setup.exe in 101. But one of these works! At this point, whenever it asks you for a CD, just write in the box the letter with the colon that corresponds to the CD you need. For instance, if it asks for the data disk, I needed G.

So, that’s what I put. I knew this because under “My Computer””Devices With Removable Storage”, the CDs are clearly labeled! They even have a picture icon of the CashFlow symbol.
