I hosted another game with friends last night (Jan 28, 2014). The photo above is one of the player's experience during the game. He said, " 1st time to play this, I was not able to get out in the rat race but I learn a lot."
What I promised is that they will learn something about personal finance and themselves. I believe I have one satisfied customer again. :) We played the game in less than 2 hours and spend the last 15 minutes to process what they learned. Hosting games like this is like doing a seminar/workshop on personal finance done in a very interactive and fun way. It's quite fulfilling to be part of the learning process.
My friend is organizing a game on Feb 15 and frankly I am ecstatic thinking about it because:
#1. I will meet new friends.
#2. I will be able to help them in their path to financial freedom.
Here's one post about our first game which I want to share.
Full content of that post is worth the read. It did endorses Truly Rich Club and I am not a member of this club but if it help you become more effective in stock investing then I suggest that you go for it.

I Played Cashflow 101 and Had a Blast!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last January 21, 2014 I played Cashflow 101 for the first time. It was facilitated by Joseph Librero.
The game was invented by Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the very popular book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’. It was designed to provide financial literacy in a fun way by simulating real life financial situations.
The objective of the game was very simple, to get out of the rat race. How? By earning passive income that can pay off a player’s total expense. For example, if my total expense is $2000 then I have to earn ‘somehow’ >$2000 of passive income in order to win.
Before our game started, it was decided to stop it after 2 hours to make it more challenging. There were three of us who played the game – one played the part of a doctor, another an engineer while I played as a janitor; Naturally, I had the lowest monthly income <$1000. I had no choice since the professions were drawn by cards.
Then the game began. We threw the dice during our turn and move a toy rat around a circle. We had lots of laughs. I was downsized once, which almost wiped out my dangerously low savings. The doctor who had more buying power accumulated a stack of businesses under his name. So was the engineer while I had none. After an hour and a half, I got out of the rat race while my fellow players were still sweating it out.
How come? There were several reasons. One of the key reasons was that I liked purchasing stocks because in real life I am a stock market investor.
If Cashflow 101 is a true simulation of real life financial situations, then I definitely recommend that buying stocks should be part of your portfolio.
Let me guess what you're probably thinking by now, “I not familiar with the stock market – I’m afraid – it’s a gamble – let me study it first.”
Honestly, your concerns are valid. In fact, it’s wise to get more information first before jumping into any business decision.
However, in my case, with a big family and a full time job, I didn’t really have the luxury of spare time and energy to study technical stuffs. So I looked for other ways to get into the stock market. Then God led me to TRC by Bo Sanchez. With their guidance, buying stocks became an investment rather than a gamble. Plus I learned along the way.
I’ve been a member now for almost three years and I wished I started earlier. I can sincerely say that the money that I saved and earned in two years since I began investing in the stock market makes my membership to TRC worth it. If you want to invest in the stock, but afraid to do it (like I was) then I recommend TRC to guide you in your baby steps. Click the affiliate link below to check them out.

There is more than one way to get out of the rat race on this game and my friend found stock market investing. Again, I am not part of Truly Rich but if you think this will help you then go for it.
The important thing is keep your eyes on the price - financial freedom.
If you need me to facilitate your game please send me a message so we can arrange something.
