Buckle up, money mavens. If you’ve ever dreamed of ditching the 9-to-5 grind, relaxing in the sunshine while your money works for you, or figuring out why your bank account keeps playing hide-and-seek, CASHFLOW is about to become your new best friend. It’s a fast-paced, real-world investing simulator that turns players into money-savvy strategists.
This isn’t a game where you get rich by luck. It’s the board game where you win by building cash-flowing assets like real estate, stocks, and businesses in order to escape the Rat Race for good.
From rental properties to apartment complexes, you’ll practice evaluating real estate deals, using leverage, and calculating ROI—all while trying to dodge the dreaded Doodads that threaten to drain your cash. Learn the tactics investors use to create wealth, right from your living room table.
Discover how to build passive income and stop working for money. CASHFLOW doesn’t just simulate investing—it builds confidence, provides strategy, and gives you real-world skills. Each play-through is a new journey—one that reveals your habits, sharpens your instincts, and transforms how you view money.
You’ll laugh, you’ll strategize, and you might even cry when you realize how much you’ve been overspending on lattes. CASHFLOW is like a financial bootcamp disguised as fun.
Playing board games isn’t just about passing the time as a digital detox. Sure they’re fun, but it doesn’t have to be mindless entertainment. CASHFLOW masks the real-life mathematics of accounting with friendly competition and social connection.
Learn how to acquire assets that will help you to get out of the Rat Race… in real life

Create passive income you make in your sleep that replaces your paycheck
Complete personal financial statements (even if you’ve never done it before)
