Cashflow Game

I've heard a lot of talk about the Cashflow game, but have never seen/played it.

I was considering purchasing the computer version, and had three questions:

1) Does the computer version approximate the physical version (is one superior to the other or are they pretty much the same)?

2) Can you get a majority of the benefits from playing the computer game solo? Or should you have multiple players before it's worthwhile?

3) Can I assume the computer version supports multiple players at the same computer?

I may look for a game in my area, but was wondering if it might be worth starting with the online version...

Thanks!

Wait for the Fastlane game, it will be far more fun and educating.

But I want to get into the Fastlane NOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW...

my suggestion: Find a group that plays it in your area and join them. The experience that you gain by playing with others is great. Especially if those others are also investors/business owners. I haven't played the computer version, but even its creator, RK, said the best experience is to play it with others. Which remind me, I need to start scheduling my next game with some friends.

Take a look at this website, from somebody that runs a cashflow club. They have the instructions for the game in there. That should give you a good idea. http://www.ratraceclub.com/

You can learn the basics of the game by playing the E-game.

You can learn how to try out different investment and negotiating strategies by playing the board game.

I've never played the E-game, but it would be OK for beginning.

But the board game-- played with first other newbs and then experienced players-- THAT is life changing.

At least it was for us.

Let me know when you do, I too have never seen or played this. I did however, hear it was quick exciting to play.

Took 4 newbies to the game 3.5 hours to finally get out of the rat race. Could have left at about 1.5 hours, but didn't really understand that we could.

2nd go round 2 hours with 2 newbies. We have tried to play with new people every time.

Every time since then it has taken 1 hour to get out of the rat race playing with 4 players. The game is almost boring after while, almost.

Btw, if anyone has family or friends that have any doubts on your goals in life, this game really changes opinions fast. My family is very receptive and even excited now about my goals.

Has anyone played cashflow 102?

Awesome, you just roared new life into the game for me. Ive been lucky so far and my random picks of professions has given me low expense occupations. I wanted to play the tougher ones for the challenge. That thread, makes me want to play again lol. I'm a sucker for a good board game.

I'm creating a thread about cashflow strategies. I hope this helps others to exchange ideas about how to use it in a different way.
