Invest cards have been added (we loved this feature). It has been updated since the version I played as a child and seems more family/child friendly – although I was disappointed to see that the plastic houses and bridges are gone, and the spinner doesn’t affix to the board in the same way (feels less secure on the board). It takes a while to complete, I think we were playing for an hour or so, but it is lots of fun and with young players you get to teach them the importance of making decisions and the consequences of them – starting with college or career, education or work. Other board spaces will see you getting paid every time you pass a Payday space (your salary is on your career card), yellow Action spaces see you draw an Action card where you have to read the card out loud and make a decision by choosing one of the Actions to do – this could see you receiving or giving money, land on a House space and you can decide to put your foot on the property ladder and purchase a house for you and your family (or sell one), Career spaces will let you get a job or change your job, and Invest spaces lets you place your Invest card under one of the Invest spaces on one edge of the board (numbered 1 to 10) and every time a player spins the corresponding number you get a payout from the bank and the dividends increase (you start with 10k, rising to 50k).Īs players make their way around the board, they need to gather as much money as they can by making important life decisions, buying houses, getting married and having kids (the more pegs in your car results in more cash at the end of the game), do you invest your hard-earned cash to try and make some more money and when do you retire? You need to stop at all the STOP spaces where you can graduate college – or not, decide if you want to get married, make a decision to grow your family and have kids, determine if you have a mid-life crisis and decide whether to retire early or continue to work. As you go around the board you will land on different spaces that require you to do different things and make decisions.
Spin the wheel and move the corresponding number of pieces on the board. Once your path in life is chosen, you are ready to play with the youngest player starting first. Choose the College path and you are much more likely to get a higher paid job, although it will cost you 100k in tuition fees. Choose the Career path and you will start earning money faster than if you went down the College path (you need to draw two Career cards and choose which one you want as your job, although any with a diploma symbol are jobs for college graduates only). The Banker then gives every player 250k (5x10k notes, 2x50k notes and 1x100k notes).īefore starting, each player must choose their path that they want to go down, either College or Career.
2 to 4 people can play, so each player picks a car of a different colour, an Invest card that matches the colour of the car and a coloured peg of any colour that is placed in one of the six holes in the car. Choose a player to be Banker and separate the money and loan cheques into piles and place them in the tray on the spinner. Separate the Action, Career and House cards into piles, giving them a good shuffle, and place them on the table in easy reach of all players.
Attach the spinner to the playing board by sliding it over the corner of the board in the space provided near the start squares.
