This game is an asset for my 6th grade math classroom. We use it during negative number unit. It helps students understand concepts like debt, bond, etc. It's based on real life events and students either gain or lose money. They then calculate the balance after each move. My students had a blast playing this game.

It has good talking points. I want to gift it to my friends with younger children though because my 11 and 14 year old are beyond the activities in it already.

This game provides each player with a check book register and as the players go around a board they get to pick up cards that indicate that they got money or had to spend money and the players add or deduct the amount from their check book.I wouldn't actually call it real world since one player immediately overdrew their checking account by serveral hundred dollars when they kept getting spending cards.The only value I see in the game is that in challenging younger players to do addition and subtraction in their head. We kept the registers by hand and then double checked the work on an adding machine on the end.My daughter did seem to enjoy the game and we have played it a couple of times. It may be better suited for a school environment, seems like it could be a rainy day recess activity.

the game was ok, there was a lot of potential for it to be good. We played 3 games and I never got a card at all.
