Road to Riches

Road To Riches is an updated and enhanced version of the award-winning Bulls & Bears board game. It has been developed in collaboration between Mario Fischel, Ph.D., a former senior economist at the World Bank, and Krishan Puvvada, Project Lead, Education at Financial Times. Road To Riches has been successfully tested with students in the UK. Road To Riches is not only a fun and challenging game – it’s a full-fledged ‘Managing Money 101’ course! Our program also includes quick and easy-to-digest instructional videos, a guidebook on personal finance, and lesson plans for classroom use. Together, they form a crash course in personal finance that turns newcomers into masters, helping them win the game and at life! Players start out with $100,000 cash, roll the dice, and proceed around the board. Spaces on the board correspond to different life events such as getting paid a salary, going on vacation, or picking from the three decks of cards that sit at the center of the board. The three decks of cards are: news flashes, knowledge cards, and wild cards. Newsflashes provide a news story, and players must buy and sell investments accordingly in order to win or lose money. Users may accept advice from other players for a shared win or loss in the investment. Knowledge cards are multiple choice cards that teach users key finance information that will be used in the game and life. Wild cards are life events that will cause the loser to win or lose money depending on whether or not they own the right assets. To win, a user must double their money. —description from the publisher
