My sorry excuse for a computer game collection …

America has just gone through a recession. So it might be to safe to say that the good ol’ U S of A might do well with a little financial advice. Are there any board games out there that give you any clarity on how the financial system works? Does a board game that weaves finances and gameplay together even sound fun? Should children be taught how to handle finances better so they don’t make the same mistakes we have?

I’m in the midst of working on creating the rules for a board game that I’ve been working on for quite awhile. I plan on making the game for an expansive multi-generational target market, so I need the game to be somewhat simple in play. However, the game mechanics I have so far seem complex.
