Title: More Work than Fun
Review: I bought this game for my ten-year-old grandson, and we played, with his 12-year-old brother. Having played a lot of different kinds of board games with them, I know what they like and can tell how they feel about games.This game was way too much work for the amount of fun it delivered. The banker is working all the time, giving out money, taking in money, and a zillion other duties. Nearly every turn on the board necessitates financial transactions. There's not much suspense or competition--when someone won it was almost anticlimactic. I doubt the kids are going to be playing the game much. Sure, it's educational--but they won't learn its lessons if they don't play it, and if it isn't enough fun, they won't play. You can't fool kids. I don't recommend this game except maybe for lessons taught in school.
