Cashflow games

On first encounter with the game, I honestly thought it was all marketing and nothing very much in substance. (Sorry to Kiyosaki)

But nevertheless, I told myself I would play the game quite a few times(10 to be exact: to date i've been on 101 for...5 times, losing all games against 4 com players) and then write a review here.

After my first game, and ending up unimpressed, I met a friend online and asked if he had ever heard of or played the game. He has and I told him my first impression of the game, and he gave me an alternative view. Kris also mentioned that what he found most interesting is how players respond to and act in the game. I thought to myself(and replied similarly) that the game appears pretty simple and it is all about choosing the right investments with some luck.

Well...in any case, I thanked him and started playing with maximum number of computer players. Then I realised luck does play a very big part, but my mistakes and emotions started appearing as well! Of course the worst emotions surfaced since I couldn't win a single game and even got 0 passive income in one. I really felt luck was against me and gave me no good opportunities. But I also realised my formula for getting out of the rat race might be wrong. So far, I understand that to get into the fast track soon, I have to have some cash to buy into big deals without incurring negative cashflow because I took a loan to finance the downpayment. So I thought I should focus on capital gains first, by buying stocks and such...which the Mentor(Kiyosaki in disguise) actually approved of as long as the stock is trading at the low or lower than the trading range.

I need to start designing and sketching my own board game. And I got a positive affirmation from my econs student that a game should make econs more applicable and fun. But for now...it's more Cashflow 101 and 202 games for me...
