"Monopoly" is a classic game invented in the first half of the XX century. The participants of the battle will have to develop their business: buy land and assets, take and give rent and try to increase their income in different ways. "Monopoly" teaches the basic principles of economics, and also that success depends not only on cold calculation, but also on accidents, so you need to think through the risks more carefully.

However, the American company Hasbro left the Russian market, and with it the most famous financial game almost disappeared. Stores are selling out Russian stores are faced with a shortage of the game "Monopoly" / RBC remains, and there is not much hope for parallel import: desktop computers need translation, so conditionally it is useless to import the Turkish version.

"Monopoly" is the first, but not the only economic board game. Here are a few analogs. Most of them are also foreign, but they can still be found on sale.

1. Cash flow

  • Age of players: from 10 years old.
  • Number of players: from two to six.

Entrepreneur and investor Robert Kiyosaki, author of the motivational book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", had a hand in creating this board. And the game repeats life scenarios well. At the beginning, participants choose professions. They also need to define themselves a financial goal , the achievement of which will make them winners. In the process, you will have to earn money and spend it on routine and unforeseen expenses. And it is also implied that the players will go through two rounds: first in the mode with income only from wages, and then with investments.

"Cash flow" allows you to try different scenarios of handling finances without the risk of losing money.

2. Antimonopoly

  • Age of players: from 8 years old.
  • Number of players: from two to six.

As the name implies, this game is almost like "Monopoly", only even more difficult. Because small entrepreneurs who have to fight with business giants also come into business. Competition implies price wars, elimination of rivals and other drastic measures. Which will win — the free market or the monopolistic empire?

3. Economicus

  • Age of players: from 8 years old.
  • Number of players: from one to eight.

Participants try themselves as entrepreneurs‑investors. You can invest in 11 industries, but not all are equally profitable. So we'll have to think about how to make capital. As in life, the process will be influenced by various accidents.

In the third edition of the board game there is a single-player mode, so you can practice before going out for a decisive battle with friends.

4. Orconomics

  • Age of players: from 10 years old.
  • Number of players: from two to five.

This economic board game is similar to the previous one, but less connected with reality, because the action takes place in a fantasy world. Magic works here, and a competitor can be eliminated not only by cunning tricks, but also in a fight. Therefore, the lessons of "Orconomics" are not quite applicable in life. But it's fun to play.

5. Startup

  • Age of players: from 8 years old.
  • Number of players: from one to eight.

This is also a variation on the theme of launching your business, but in a modern format. Players will have to assemble a team and implement the project. And they will fight with competitors with the help of DDoS attacks and other technological chips. Force majeure is also provided, where in startups without them.

6. Corrupt official

  • Age of players: from 18 years old.
  • Number of players: from three to four.

Bribes, kickbacks, blackmail, theft from the budget — this game has everything to turn corruption schemes and become the richest. Of course, it is unlikely that this board can be advised from the point of view of bringing its scenarios to life. But after it, many things will become clearer.

7. The Game of Life

  • Age of players: from 8 years old.
  • Number of players: from two to four.

Participants go through the stages of career and family life. So you will have to count the money, prioritize , and also demonstrate your talents to other players. You can earn money by completing tasks: sing a song, tell a story.

8. Corporation. Think and get rich

  • Age of players: from 6 years old.
  • Number of players: from two to six.

Here you have to climb the career ladder — from starting positions to the position of CEO. Whoever heads the company will win. In the process, you will have to use logic, test your moral views and reaction to force majeure.
