Hard Times: The Money Management Game

Can a board game help your child avoid financial blunders later in life? That is exactly what Hard Times: The Money Management Game is all about. Together at the table you learn how to handle money while you play, and that makes it an exciting adventure for children and parents alike. You start with a loan and then follow the path every young adult knows: eating out with friends, studying, looking for a job and buying things for your home. But as the name suggests, it is not always smooth sailing. Will you get a fine for parking in the wrong spot, is your credit card maxed out, or do you suddenly have a hospital bill to pay? Those are exactly the bumps from real life you will run into. Everyone builds up their own wealth. The first player to have a steady job, buy and furnish a house, park a car in the driveway and be debt-free as well wins the game. A great way to laugh, learn and discover together what it is like to manage your own money.
