We have it, kids love it. It really lays out the distinction between income and expenses, and assets and liabilities and gets kids thinking on that level. Perfect introduction to financial independence. It is stupid expensive, but it's nice, and we have 4 kids and will keep it forever. We play it frequently. It can take a while to get through a game, and it is luck-based, which can frustrate your brighter kids, since they have very little control over their finances. But still, I think it's good. Best bet would be to split the cost with some mustachian parent friends, and swap it back and forth.
