The component 2 that is identified for each element that contributes to an increase in assets or that reduces the loss due to risk, the component 3 that displays the conditions for increasing or decreasing the component 1, and the current position of the player as the game progresses It consists of the component 4 to display.

The field of learning the necessity of “money balance” is not limited to business and can be widely applied. For convenience of explanation, the effect applied to “business” is shown below. The game set according to the present invention can deepen the understanding of the movement of money (cash flow) by playing a game, as if the player is actually managing a company as if it were a real simulation. In addition, it has the effect that money, which is a “tangible asset”, can understand the meaning of “economic blood”. On top of that, not only “tangible assets”, but also the importance of family, friends, and connections that are “intangible assets”, the importance of having dreams (living for life) such as self-investment and development investment, and the risks As if you are actually running a company, you can see the importance of risk hedging whether you are going to be involved, the importance of having a reliable advisor, and the implications of investing that money produces money. It also has an effect that can be confirmed (simulated). In other words, the game set according to the present invention allows the player to learn the necessity of the above-mentioned “money balance sense” through the game, and a consumer with a balanced sense of money (= person with excellent money sense). It has a great effect of giving "awareness" to become.

The field of learning the necessity of “money balance” is not limited to business and can be widely applied. However, for convenience of explanation, examples applied to “business” are shown in FIGS. Shown in the figure.

  FIG. 1 shows a toy coin or bill as a part 1 corresponding to money. FIG. 2 shows coins identified in blue, green, white and red as part 2 identified for each element that contributes to an increase in assets or reduces risk losses (described below). FIG. 3 shows a square 41 of the sugoroku board and a piece 42 of each player as parts 4 for displaying the current position of the player as the game progresses. FIG. 4 shows, as a part 3 for displaying conditions for increasing / decreasing the part 1, a card 31 that displays items of money exchange in a normal business, and a table 32 that influences the result of the card 31 by dice eyes. Indicates. FIG. 5 shows a settlement table used for the settlement of the game.

The component 2 is constituted by a coin group identified by color as follows for each element that contributes to an increase in assets or reduces loss due to risk.
Green: Represents human assets such as personal connections, brains, networks, and supporters (family, friends), which are “intangible assets”.

This identification may be based on the color, the shape, or the like.

The parts 3 include a card 31 that displays items of exchange of money in a normal business such as “production quantity, salary, expense, sales, receipt method (cash, bills, etc.)” and a card 31 as follows. Table 32 describes the contents that further affect the results.
(Example of Table 32)
a. A fire has occurred! Pay 5 million.
However, there is no damage if you have fire insurance (if you have white coins).
b. Complaint occurs in the product! 200 returns.
However, there is no damage if there is a quick acquaintance (if you have a green coin).
c. Lost in patent trial! Pay 2 million damages.
However, there will be no damage if you have a patent advisor (if you have a blue coin).
d. Sales drastically decreased due to the recession! 4 million losses.
However, there will be no damage when you start a new business (if you have a red coin).
e. The company sold on the bankruptcy! Unable to collect 3 million accounts receivable.
However, if you have a financial planner, there is no damage (if you have a blue coin).
The card 31 and the table 32 may be either one in order to simplify the game. In that case, it is also possible to combine both contents.

  The game set according to the present invention has the above configuration and is played as follows.

(Preparation stage)
Each player obtains a part 1 corresponding to the same amount of money (for setting that the investment amount is determined first and management is performed using the capital amount). The player determines the parts 2 to be purchased by self-judgment before proceeding with the business (game). Parts 2 has the advantage of avoiding risks and reducing losses and gaining the opportunity to increase funds in the course of business, etc., but on the other hand, payments are made only for the amount invested monthly (parts) 1 is less). That is, it is left to the judgment of each player how much preparation is made before doing business (how many parts 2 are purchased from the capital). The parts 2 do not have to be purchased at all, can be purchased at the discretion of the player during the game, or can be obtained by dice.

(Play stage)
Each player places his or her piece at the start position of the first 41 of the Sugoroku board in FIG. 3, the first player draws the card 31 first, and the money is exchanged in the normal business described on the card 31. Follow the contents of For example, if “Business Opportunity, Sales Increase 5 Million”, you should get 5 Million from “Game Management Department”, but then “a. Fire! However, if you have fire insurance (if you have white coins, there will be no damage). If you do not have white coins, 5 million will be confiscated, but if you have white coins, you will be damaged by fire. The 5 million acquired with the card 31 will be received as it is. Similarly, the next player draws the card 31, then rolls the dice and proceeds to the next time (month) according to the contents described in Table 32.
If the card 31 receives a bill of payment (toy) that will be settled 4 months ahead, the bill will be placed 4 months (times) ahead of the current piece position and 4 months (times) Cash (parts 1) can be received when the piece comes in 4 months (times), except when the company that has drawn up the bill by the time it has passed cannot recover accounts receivable due to bankruptcy or the like. Moreover, the total amount of the purchased parts 2 is paid each time as an expense.
Each player repeats the above and calculates the money on hand (part 1) every 4 months (time) as the “financial transaction”, which is more than the initial amount obtained three times in succession. (Black) The player wins and the game ends there.
In other words, after entering the values of “assets” and “liabilities” at the time of settlement in each column of “Financial Results” shown in FIG. 5, calculate cash flow (column E) and enter the results. . Next, according to the number of coins on hand, the calculated result is entered in the F column, and if E + F exceeds the investment amount, a surplus will result.

(After game is over)
The player can discover his / her financial problem while reflecting on the final result of the game or the action taken in the middle of the game, and by doing so, he / she trains his / her money balance ability (money sense). In addition, it is effective to use the following checklist.
Q1: What color do you think part 2 is 'not enough'?
Q2: (It is desirable to have as many coins as possible in the sense of money balance) What can be done to increase this color?
Q3: If you start a business, what is the balance of the color of component 2?

By adding to the game the function of the component 2 (the group of coins color-coded) identified for each element that contributes to an increase in money or reduces loss due to risk, the effect of making the game more realistic, The effect of increasing the fun of the game can be obtained.
For example, in the course of advancing business, it is actually possible to damage the inventory due to fire, but if you have fire insurance, you may be able to save the damage. Even if the card 31 that “fire has occurred and loses all inventory” is drawn, risk can be avoided by assigning “no damage if you have white coins” in Table 32. Since the game is set so that there is a reversal in this way, it is more interesting. However, even in this case, the risk cannot be avoided unless the white component 2 is provided. In Table 32, there is a condition such as “half-price relief if there is a white part 2”, or conversely, the damage is increased. As a result, you will learn that the scope of relief depends on the type of fire insurance, or that there is a risk that damage will increase if the problem is not properly addressed.
The above is limited to business for convenience of explanation, but the field of learning the need for “money balance” is not limited to business. For example, early childhood education, youth money education, housewife money The present invention is widely applicable to education and the like, and the present invention can be used with some modifications according to these cases.
