Rich Dad has been published in 109 countries and regions since it was published in 1997, ranking first in The New York Times bestseller list for six consecutive years. Rich Dad entered Chinese mainland in 2000 and once ranked first in the national bestseller list with 18 months.
Rich Dad's series of books are widely praised, not only because the concepts and knowledge of finance and business taught in them are simple and easy to understand, but also because the author reveals the secrets of wealth based on the real experience in the past, rather than on paper.
At first, Robert? Kiyosaki and his wife are going to develop a game to teach people what they have learned about financial investment. In order to sell games, they need to make a brochure introducing games.
Robert? Kiyosaki then wrote down the principles he gained from his rich father and life. But when he wrote it down step by step, he found that only eight pages were not enough to hold what he wanted to express. So in the end, this booklet became a 132 page book.
He named it rich dad and poor dad.
The name of this game is "rich dad cash flow game", and we often call it "cash flow game".
The three-hour cash flow game simulates our life process. In this game, players need to make one decision after another about money, such as daily expenses, investment and purchase behavior, loan and credit card use.
The author encourages people to participate in the cash flow game, and observe and reflect their own investment and financial management behaviors in the game, because these behaviors can often reflect our cognitive level and even inertial thinking in the real financial investment environment, as well as their decision-making behavior.
Although the game is not life, it can simulate life. Learn and change by simulating life.
The best way to learn is not passive input, but active output.
Sand table deduction is an important tool for military exercises. By simulating the real battlefield, reflecting on the success or failure of decision-making, analyzing the strategic gains and losses, and constantly practicing in repeated adjustment and improvement, the military command ability is finally improved.
So is the cash flow game.
Failure in life investment is a loss of real money. However, if you make a mistake in the game, you will get rich practical and unforgettable personal feelings.
Win happiness, lose growth.

At the same time, at the end of the three-hour game, you will master the basic knowledge of balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. Because in the game, you need to constantly fill in and modify these three forms according to the financial situation of the character.
You may find these forms a little complicated at the beginning of the game, but you will soon master them ~
They are the basic knowledge of accounting and investment, and accounting and investment are Robert? Kiyosaki thinks that two of the four basic skills of financial business are very important (the other two are market and law).
If you haven't read Rich Dad and Poor Dad, cash flow games can help you understand the core idea of this book. I also believe that when you play this game, you will be more willing to read this book.
