Best New Game of the Year 2009

The New Zealand Investment Game has been award Best New Game of the Year 2009 by the NZ Games Assn (link >>>). The Judging panel included students and teachers from a cross-section of New Zealand schools and regions. It also included two celebrity judges, Jim Mora and Judith Dobson (both avid family game players), plus highly respected educational and child psychologist Lynne Beresford. Frank Newman said he was absolutely delighted to win the award. "It's a credit to the team that worked on the project for two years to bring it to market, particularly to Kim Shepherd our IT specialist and Aaron Moore from Fix Creative who worked on the design features." - 5 November 2009

Review by Alistair Helm, realestate.co.nz

"As close to real investing as you can possibly get... far more challenging and engaging than Monopoly...more of an education that a pure game, however it does not lack that aggressive and at times manic pace of ambition which pervades any good team game." Read full review >>>

A must have for those serious about investing!
ContentS: Game board, playing pieces, dice, Getting Started card, Rules book, sponsors material, game CD.The NEW ZEALAND INVESTMENT GAME is a new way of learning about the investment markets. Developed by investment writer, Frank Newman, this is more than a game - its an investment market simulation and just like real-time investing, but you learn without risking your money!

Within a few hours you will learn the very same techniques the super rich have used to build their fortunes. You will learn how to build a property empire like Donald Trump, invest in shares like Warren Buffett, or speculate on the derivative markets like George Soros.

Learn everything you need to know about investing in a fun and exciting way.

The game combines the traditional board game approach with the sophistication of a patented software package. No two games are the same and all of the paperwork is done for you, which gives you more time to get on with investing. 
The software also tracks every investment a player makes and provides a detailed report that rates a players investment decisions using a patented formula.
The game is played on a board and electronically using the game CD.
Online updates mean you will always be playing with the very latest investment information and your software will be automatically updated with the very latest information. You can even create your own market models!

The INVESTMENT game is the complete package. Within a few short fun-filled hours you will learn a lifetime of investment experience, and it's crammed full of educational tips - you can even ask for advice from Frank!

Take part in auctions, learn when to buy and sell property, how to finance purchases, how to manage debt, when to use debt and when not to, how to recognise undervalued shares, how to increase your savings, learn about Kiwisaver and which fund to select, and much more.

If you are serious about investing, you MUST HAVE the NZ INVESTMENT GAME!
