I just played 101 (the ‘actual’ boardgame) last night. To be clear, there is only 1 way to play this game, and that is with other people across the table from you. The side deals you can make without even having any cash on hand was the most exciting part of the game. Here’s my short story.
~About 1 hour into the game, the doctor thought he could handle a ‘big deal’ of 75k down payment for a 24 unit apartment. Needless to say, his $20k cash on hand wouldnt cut it. It took about 20 seconds before 4 others at the table jumped on it through him $3k cash, $10k cash, $20k cash, taking loans from the ¡bank! to help finance this deal that made EVERYONE money. Ah… good times.
Again, buy the board game, teach your friends, teach your children and enjoy face-time.

Great game, shame it’s so easy, cracked 101, after trying it first time with one player and getting my butt kicked whilst learning the ropes, then jumped straight into 4/5 player(was a while ago I forget max players).

Then 202… little more confusing with more new words, but cracked it second game too.

Looking for similar OFFLINE investing games, can’t find any though >.<

Make us a new one Robert PLEASE! xD

I agree with review 1. More often than not the game is heavily loaded against me. e.g. the last 3 games go like this. #1. Doctor with 700K cash waiting for an opportunity and I get Baby>Paycheck>Doodad(Log Cabin)>Baby>Market(Recession)>Opp(neg. cashflow land)>Doodad(Boat)>Paycheck>Opp.(21% REIT bond)>Baby. #2 Airline Pilot, get to 400K cash, everybody in Rat Race, everything to play for but I’m well positioned, next 12 moves and an additional 5K in “other expenses”, 3 babies, mudslide on my 50 unit apt, and some useless “opportunities”…..you get the picture. The only good games are against other real people in a multiplayer hot-seat. You’ll learn one or two things in the first few plays but then it ceases to be entertaining. If it was less “loaded” then it would be an excellent game, both instructive and entertaining, but that much bad luck, and so consistently, is just not realistic.

Cashflow 202 tends to provide a stock market but I think it’s not real enough. Most of the times I take part in the stock market, I win about 10 – 40 grands if my cash on hand is about 20 grands (some time it’s over 100 grands with options or a high-priced stock). With that I won the game easily even when I’m a doctor. It needs improvement, a lot, and more companies, more types of graph. And I think the mentor should explain more about the stock market.

Hmm you are right. They have taken off the egames, I think this is because they are now making the game online-based. Perhaps you can try find 202 egame on ebay or amazon.

Hi,

I have the 101 egame, and am keen to get the 202 egame. Does anyone know where I can buy it.

The Rish dad store is not selling it.

Cashflow 202 is the most realistic money game there is. There is no way to “figure it out” as Tiffany would suggest. Your friends who have “figured it out” just understand the conventions of money.

Follow the basic principles and you will win. I have had this game for about 18 months and finish 1st or 2nd everytime. There is no one strategy, you need to react to the scenarios in the game which is what makes it so good.

In life there is no one strategy to help you financially, you just need to make more good decisions than bad ones…

I can’t help but respond to this.

If you think Cashflow 202 is 80% luck, then you
DON’T KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE GAME OF MONEY

Yes, there are a few situations where a mudslide, the sportscar, the office, etc. can do you in for good and there is nothing you could have done. To me, this happened maybe 1% or 2% of the time (and I have played the game dozens of times). (Even that can teach you a valuable lesson. When you are just starting, on a minimal cashflow, then it’s not the time to buy a sportscar that costs you 1000 bucks a month. Period).

If you know how to play the game, and if you are willing to take a risk, those things are little more than annoying setbacks (just like in real life). I have been bankrupt twice in the same game and still been able to win. I have taken huge risks in the face of bankruptcy because, after all, could it come any worse? And, more often than not, it worked!
