The game "leverage of your freedom or how to manage money so that it does not control you" is carried out as follows.

The game involves 6 people (or 6 teams).

Before the start of the game, cards that imitate teams for the actions of players (small cards) are mixed and laid out on the playing field 1 into cells 4 of the corresponding colors. Each player is given a balance sheet and he fills in the column in it, "The purpose of life." The leading question is formed in this column: “If you had 10,000,000 rubles, what would you spend them on?” Three minutes are given for this task, then the balance sheet is turned over. Profession cards are shuffled (blue) and each player draws one card, then transfers information from the profession card to his balance sheet in the appropriate columns. Fill the balance sheet with a pencil, as during the game the numbers in it change. The player sitting on the right is for the player sitting on the left an auditor who checks the correctness of calculations and changes in the player’s balance sheet.

They choose the host of the game, as a rule, it becomes the one who has studied the rules of the game and can, if necessary, answer the questions of the players. The leader is entrusted to the Bank of the game, from which he gives out the amount of money to the players and accepts payments from the players, resolves disputes arising during the game.

Each player receives from the Bank his savings and “net money”, the amounts of which are indicated on the profession cards and selects a chip of a color of his choice.

Then the right of the first move is played. Each player in turn rolls a die. The player who scores the most points starts the game first. The game continues sitting to the left and further clockwise. He puts his chip on the “Start”, rolls the die and moves in the direction of the arrow. The remaining players start the next turn clockwise after it.

On a small circle, each player rolls a die once in one move, on a large "circle" - twice.

At the beginning of the game, players do not have children; during the game there can be no more than three of them.

The small circle is the circle of ordinary people, i.e. employees who are financially dependent on their employer.

A large “circle” is a circle of wealthy people, financially free, owning businesses, having the ability to influence the political situation in the market, but most importantly, able to achieve the goal of their life.

The goal of the game is to get out of the small circle to the big "circle", and then strive to win on it.

The one who is the first of the players to win the “Goal of Life” wins, having got to the corresponding gaming sector, having the opportunity to pay the necessary amount, or the one who gains on the big “circle” an additional monthly cash flow from businesses of 500,000 rubles (in excess of the starting amount).

Each player should strive to switch from a small circle to a large “circle”, and you can switch to it at any turn, provided that the player’s “Monthly cash flow” (passive income) exceeds his “total expenses”, i.e. the player needs to strive to increase his passive income as quickly as possible.

The player who entered the Net Money sector or passed it is given an amount indicated in the balance sheet column as Net Money.

“Net money” is the amount remaining from a player’s total income after deducting total expenses, i.e. after paying all taxes, a consumer basket, paying for housing, paying all loans, etc., “Net money” is issued every time a player passes a sector with the corresponding name, but this should be reminded to the banker. A player who is in the Net Money sector moves his chip to the next sector according to the arrow.

A player who falls into the "Transaction" sector is given the opportunity to acquire assets by entering into a transaction in a small or large business. While the player does not have 100,000 rubles available, when he gets to the "Deal" sector, he takes a card from the "small business" deck. Players who have an amount in excess of 100,000 rubles play "big" and take cards from the "big business" deck. Transactions in the "big business" allow players to receive a larger, compared with the "small business" monthly cash flow. The player who took the card from the “small” or “big business” deck must decide before the next player makes a move whether to buy this deal or not. If he decides to take the transaction, he pays the amount indicated in the card to the Bank, leaves the business card with him and transcribes the data from the card to the balance sheet. If the player decides not to take the proposed deal, he can resell the deal to other players. The price is negotiable. If none of the players buys a business, this means that the card has not played, and it is put down the corresponding deck

If a business bought by a player brings a positive monthly cash flow, it is recorded in the “Assets” column of the balance sheet, if it brings a negative cash flow, it is recorded in the “Liabilities” column of the balance sheet.

The player who has got on the "Market" sector needs to take a card from above from the "Market" deck and read it out loud. These cards contain information about market events, so this information applies to all players. In the market, a player can sell his assets (businesses, land, coins and bullion). Any of the players who have an asset indicated in the “market” card can sell it at the price offered by the market. In case the player made a decision to sell the business, he receives the appropriate amount from the Bank, erases the sold business and cash flow from it from the balance sheet, recalculates “net money” and puts the sold asset back down to the appropriate deck. Players working in network marketing companies can either agree or refuse the opportunity to include distributors offered by the market in their network.

A player who has entered the "Exchange" sector is given the opportunity to play on the stock exchange, i.e. buy stocks that can later be sold profitably. The player takes a card from the Exchange deck and reads it out loud. Only he can buy any number of shares at the price indicated on the card. All players holding shares in the company whose shares are offered (Yukoil or Lukos) can sell their shares at the price indicated on this card.

If a player buys the offered shares, he pays to the Bank the amount for the number of shares he wants to buy and writes the shares on his balance sheet.

If one of the players sells his shares, he receives from the Bank the amount for the number of shares of the corresponding company that he has and deletes information about these shares from his balance sheet.

A player who has entered the Force Majeure sector takes a card from the corresponding deck and follows the instructions on it. "Force Majeure" marked "regardless of who pulled the card" applies to

all players, other “Force Majeure” are valid only for the player who has taken the card.

A player who finds himself in the “Give yourself pleasure” sector takes a card from the “Give yourself pleasure” deck and follows the instructions in the card. The card is required. If a player does not have enough money for pleasure, he will have to take a loan from the Bank.

Cards from Force Majeure, Small Business, Big Business, Market, Exchange, and Pleasure decks are taken only from the top of the deck. Information is read out from the cards aloud. "Played" cards are put down the appropriate deck.

A player who falls into the "Insurance" sector is invited to insure his business (s) with the "Insurance" insurance company and pay a lump-sum insurance contribution of 5% of its (their) value. Insurance protects his insured business from all kinds of force majeure. Only a player who has entered the Insurance sector can insure their businesses, and he makes a mark in the Assets column of his balance sheet in the Insurance column next to the corresponding business.

The player who entered the sector “With the addition!” Increases the amount of his expenses by the amount of expenses for the child indicated on the profession card. One player cannot have more than three children.

A player who entered the "Training" sector can go through any number of training programs at will, the name of these programs is on the price list.

The player pays money for training to the Bank, records in the balance sheet the completed training programs and the effect of them. Only a player who is in the "Education" sector is entitled to undergo training.

For a player who enters the Professional sector, only in case of training, the salary at the main place of work increases by 10% of each training program passed.

A player who has entered the “Partners” sector has the opportunity to move to a large “circle”. To do this, he needs to find a partner from among the players in the small circle and create a joint Business for the production and sale of board business games and other intellectual products. The cost of the business is 500,000 rubles, each of them must invest - 250,000 rubles, monthly cash flow - 30,000 rubles. If a player can create a joint business, then they and their partner have a chance to reach a big "circle", provided that their monthly flow after the creation of the joint venture will block their total costs.

At the small circle 2 there are additional opportunities - this is a Bank loan. You can take it at the Bank if, when taking a loan, the player does not become bankrupt. The interest on the loan is 10% per month. If a player takes a loan, he pays the loan amount in the “Liabilities” column on his balance sheet.

At any turn, a player can pay debts to the Bank by repaying a loan in full or in part, repaying in whole or in part the amount of a loan, after which the player must recount the “Liabilities” column in the balance sheet, recount his expenses and recount his “Net Money” ".

If the player is bankrupt, i.e. Since the amount of its “Net Money” is negative, then you can sell any of your assets at half the price (investment in these assets) to the Bank, or sell any of your assets at a contractual value to other players. If the amount received does not allow the player to reach a positive amount of “Net Money” through the reduction of his “Liabilities”, the player takes a new card from the “profession cards” and starts the game “from scratch”.

If a player switches to a large “circle” provided that the “Monthly cash flow” (passive income) exceeds “General expenses”, then the player’s cash flow increases 100 times - this is his starting amount on a large “circle”, but the player is deprived of the right to take a loan from the Bank, as he himself became an investor.

On the big "circle" they play as follows.

The balance sheet is turned over to the other side, make a record of the starting amount on the big “circle” in the corresponding column of the balance sheet, get the starting amount at the Bank, hand over cards with the player’s assets acquired on the small circle to the Bank, no cards are used on the big “circle” from decks, all the necessary information is contained in the "circle" itself. The player puts a chip on the "Start" of a large "circle". On a large “circle”, the player rolls two dice in one move.

A player who has entered one of the businesses of a large “circle” can buy the business indicated in the sector if the necessary amount of money is available. When buying, the player pays the indicated amount to the bank, puts his marker (a square from a cardboard of “his” color) on the sector, after which the business is considered to be its property and other players cannot buy this business. The player then writes the cash flow brought by the business to the balance sheet and recounts the amount of dividends.

If a player falls into the “Life Goal” sector, he must pay 10 million rubles. The goal of each player is recorded on the balance sheet in the space provided for this. If a player, when entering a large “circle”, is the first to enter the “Life Goal” sector and he has enough money to pay for it, he wins. If the player does not have enough money, he continues to “walk” in a larger circle further.

If a player falls into the Dividends sector or passes through it, the Bank gives him dividends, which comprise the amount of cash flow from all businesses on the big "circle" and its starting amount.

If a player falls into the Force Majeure sector, then the player performs what is written in this sector on a large “circle”.

If a player falls into the IPO-shares sector, he can buy the offered shares at the price indicated in this sector, roll a dice and if the indicated number of points falls out, the shares will skyrocket and the player will receive a substantial profit. The player marks the IPO shares sector with his marker, and each time he lands in this sector, the player has the right to buy the proposed number of shares and play on them.
