A new board game has entered the market and is swiftly capturing national attention, the game is Prosperity.
Prosperity is a first-class product on many levels. The physical design is a work of art, constructed (100% made in USA) with high quality board game materials, i.e. instead of the standard multi-colored plastic pawns they used custom designed real pewter game pieces.
On one level, all players begin the game as mega-millionaires, then proceed to build empires as they experience a host of surprises.
On an entrepreneurial level, players have the opportunity to own many types of property: high profit (Hotel), regular profit (Restaurant), low profit (HBCU), and/or no[n] profit (House of Worship). Prospective owners experience purchase financing, cooperative purchasing, sophisticated contract options, contract enforcement, fee or commission compensation, as well as tax responsibilities.
And, on a deeper cultural level, players see Black faces on high value currency, see symbols of Black academic achievement, experience investment in Black communities, and exercise progressive cooperative economics in a achievement driven environment that happens to be Black.
The game is flexible enough to be played with or without the rules. It is a great teaching/mentoring tool for bright children age 8 and above.
Prosperity can be viewed at www.funwithwealth.com, played at a local library, or purchased and enjoyed from generation to generation.
Now that you know, share the wealth, tell a friend. :::::::

Naw Homie, it's all love. If I offended you forgive me.
I guess I'm the only one that noticed the free food involved in this all :???:
Got me hungry thinkin about pizza and sprite......
^^^NOPE! You definitely aren't the only one. FREE FOOD= smiling black faces...lol
And thanks for the clarification Prosperity. That whole process sounds type confusing though. :???:

The pizza example is just the way they financially budget the food, but the Coordinator has the prerogative to spend the funds as they see fit; Pizza, Popeyes, Taco Bell, Veggie, or whatever. The game is tougher than most expect, the food keeps you on top of your game.

Perhaps, but it really isn't. Since I'm getting paid by the post, (and hazard pay for any hate, :lol ask any question that you want, if I don't know I'll find out.
