I was pleasantly surpised at how well made this board game is. The pieces are durable and the manufacturers included their own ziplocks to store the pieces. Our family of four (two girls, ages 2 and 5) have played this together (we help the kids) and each time we open the box we're guaranteed about an hour of family fun. The book and audio cd are repetitive if you've read Kiyosaki's stuff, but are a nice refresher course. The feel of the game is similar to Monopoly, with a more relevant slant.
My young children were able to get the gist of the game after one playing, and my eldest (5) is starting to ask if the things we buy are "necessary" or are "doodads"---something I wish I questioned earlier in life!

The game is labeled ages 6 and up. I'd agree with that age-frame, unless you are willing to talk the kids through it.

My daughter and I enjoyed playing this game, and it gave me opportunities to explain some financial lessons to her that I hadn't thought of explaining. I would recommend that if your child is over 10 years old, that you probably just go ahead and invest in the adult version, as this one is a bit simple... My nearly 12 year old daughter had the ideas down pat within just a few times through.

This is an excellent way to teach children about earning passive income, minimizing expenses - and ultimately achieving financial freedom. The game is easy to learn and nicely made. My child thinks it's a lot of fun, especially as the adults sink deeper and deeper into debt buying luxuries on credit. My only beef with the game is that it implies that a home based business produces passive income - which is not typical.

Great game - I highly recommend it - if you haven't bought the adult version yet - or if you want to teach your children about the Rich Dad concepts. It's easy to learn. Our family learned alot. A great way to put into practice and experience the concepts - hands on. We're using it to introduce us to the adult version, which will be our next purchase.
The downside is that once you learn it and have played it a few times, it's not as challenging anymore - but that's the whole idea of learning...it leaves you wanting to go to the next level of education.

I am very happy I purchased this game! I wanted to start my child with as much financial knowledge that befits her age.

Thank you.
