What it is

Finanza is a board game about how real wealth is built. Everyone starts with the same pretend money and travels around a board of Invest, Innovate, Educate and Enjoy squares. Each lap is a life stage, and every time you pass Start you get paid: more if you have studied, plus whatever your investments have grown.

Education is the engine. A Diploma, Bachelor's, Master's or PhD raises your pay and multiplies what your inventions earn. Fun matters too: skip it all and your Wellbeing drops, and only players who stay happy can win. Kids mode keeps things gentle with money quizzes instead of world events. All money in Finanza is pretend and there is nothing to buy.

How to play

  1. Roll and move

    Roll two dice and move around the board. Passing Start is payday: salary by education, investment growth and rent, and 10% interest on any debt.

  2. Educate and innovate

    On Educate, study the next level (a student loan covers any shortfall) or answer a money quiz. On Innovate, your idea earns more the more you have studied.

  3. Invest and enjoy

    On Invest, buy one of two investments or pass. On Enjoy, say yes for Wellbeing or skip it. Watch out for fun paid with loans.

  4. Win wisely

    Meditate corners bring world events like crashes and inflation. When someone finishes the last life stage, highest net worth wins among players with Wellbeing 4 or more. If nobody is that happy, the richest player wins.
