YES.... I found this quite surprising, actually! It is a funny experience... You really do start to *think* differently....

Yes, I first played with a friend and I beat him. (Must be all the business/finance reading I do....)
But then I played against my brother Thomas (who has posted here before), and he beat me the first time.
I guess since since he's studying finance at university, that may have helped!
At first, it took us about 3 hours to get out of the "rat race", but last time we were both almost out in around 45 minutes.... :)
But you really do learn a lot....

Ah, I don't have Cashflow 202 yet... I may get it later on.... :)
Thanks Amber.... I think Robert Kiyosaki will probably start a trend, actually, and I wouldn't be surprised if educational business/investment games could really grow in the years ahead.... Because they really are probably one of the best educational tools around! :)
