Problems solved by technology

Prior art board games are problematic and suffer from various undesirable limitations.
In particular, prior art board games that have an object of acquiring the most money fail to present a realistic environment for learning and practicing wealth-building principles.
Instead, the prior art games generally operate so that any financial aspects are overly simplified.
Prior art board games also fail to test players' ability to manage the non-accounting aspects of building wealth and to provide feedback on strategies used for building wealth.

In other words, the principles of the present invention are applicable where the board game 30 is presented and played through the interface of a conventional computer and operates either on that computer or on another computer. For example, it is entirely within the scope of the present invention where the game board 32 is represented visually on a computer monitor and play is controlled through a keyboard, mouse, or other peripheral of the computer. Also, while aspects of the illustrated board game 30 are pri...

Abstract

A board game is configured for learning and practicing principles of wealth development. The board game broadly includes, among other things, a game board, game tokens for tracking player movement during the game, activity cards that players draw in response to landing on board spaces, and a worksheet for tracking various financial metrics used for playing the game and for determining the winner. Each of the board spaces are associated with one or more wealth-building activity categories and direct the players to follow instructions that correspond with the respective categories. The worksheet includes sections for tracking financial metrics such as the player's income, expenses, assets, liabilities, and net worth.

Other prior art games identify the winner of the game as the player who acquires the most money during the game.[0005]Prior art board games are problema...
