I’ve got this experiment going on at the moment. I mentioned it here the other day.
In case you were wondering, you can buy this game online.
If you click the link above it will direct you to Amazon. When I checked this today it said that they ship to New Zealand.
The cost is about $US50. And you still have to ship it. But keep in mind that when this came out it cost about $400.
Fortunately for me, I managed to convince my employer at the time that I needed it for “professional development”. It obviously had nothing to do with my job.
Watch this space for more info about my analysis of the literacy and numeracy demands of this game. And for the resources that I’m working for teaching people how to use it.

Funny – my organisation bought it also. I borrowed it over the weekend and friends and I would play for hours. Great game.
Looking forward to your analysis.
Cool…! Did you ever play the extension pack? Cashflow 202 or something?
No- didn’t know there was one.
Extension pack looks cool… teaches the principles behind selling long and short. Like trading options and futures. Which I have no idea about. Also makes the market in the game much more volatile.
We also bought this years ago when we had students doing business.Time to get it out again
hey cool… I think it was a very clever up-sell from the books. I’m enjoying having the financial literacy conversations with a new, young group of people. I’m also thinking of getting the extension pack – Cashflow 202
